If you visit our web site, you'll see that my professional logo for Teton Engineering Inc is an adaptation of the Teton Short Line logo. The Grand Teton was projected from a 35mm slide onto the wall and my artist friend Conn Housley charcoaled the outline and then painted it in acrylics. The backdrops are the first thing visitors see and the usually the first thing that they comment on. They still look great 30 years later. In 1972, we publicly documented the Teton Short Line name with a three page article in June MR describing the technical aspects of our three color signalling system.
Private names can be fun.
I've never regretted our decision to do our own thing or the name choice, it's never gotten old or passe and it's got permanence, at least until the mountains of the Grand Teton erode to dust. I'm not a historian in the true sense of the word. If I want to change the signalling system from ABS to CTC, there is no history to stop me, we'll just write our own history.
