LOGOS ET COULEURS 1 - Original Logo (1950 - 1962) The original logo adopted for the Canada Central was the beaver of CP, on the maple leaf of CN, and the original colors were blue and gray, of the Delaware & Hudson, whose trains were seen regulary on the tracks of CP in the direction of Windsor station and the tracks of CN in the direction of Turcot yards. + = 
2 - Canada Goose Logo (1962 - 1990) A new logo, representing the Canada Goose, was adopted in December of 1962 ( based on the insignia of a bomber squadron of the USAF of the second world war) and dark blue replaced the original colors around 1965. 
3 - Arrival of the «Lower Canada Western » (1982 - 1990) In 1982, the "Lower Canada & Western" joined our Association. The original color of the LCW was olive green, with no official logo, but with the name written out or simply the first three letters of the three words. Eventually their colors became the leaf green with lettering and extremities in bright yellow. The logo eventually became the three letters LCW in capitals and italicized. 
4 - Foundation of the LCCW (1990 - 1996) In 1990, the LCW and Canada Central merged to form the «Lower Canada Central & Western ». The LCCW adopted as their color the modern CP red , and for a logo the white letters of LCW while conserving the goose but in reduced format. 
5 - Back to the Canada Goose Logo (1996 - Today) The network took back it's original name "Canada Central " in 1996 with the Canada Goose Logo.
