This booklet is a record of some of the names and heralds that have appeared on railway rolling stock over the years. Almost as soon as railway rolling stock was invented, it was discovered that two tasks could be performed. The first, of course, was to transport people and goods about the country. The second was to advertise the railroad, the lands it traveled and the goods it carried. In the time before electronic communications and jet carriers, the sight of "Pacific Great Eastern" in a passing train brought visions of exotic and distant lands. Several generations of young people learned the nation's geography by observing these cars and dreaming of one day visiting the distant places. Even the railroads themselves indulged in a bit of dreaming as many that went no further than around the corner included the distant Pacific in their names. In recent times, competition from other modes of transport and the resulting railroad mergers have reduced the variety of names seen on passing trains. One of the objectives of this book is to document a bit of this disappearing history.
