[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Fort Worth and Denver Railway
Description	This is a logo owned by Unknown; the logo may have been created prior to 1922, judging by the style for Fort Worth and Denver Railway. It is a historical logo. Its historical usage is as follows: Unknown, but probably in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.
Source	The logo may be obtained from Unknown; the logo may have been created prior to 1922, judging by the style.
Article	Fort Worth and Denver Railway
Portion used	The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	The image is used to identify the organization Fort Worth and Denver Railway, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.To provide a small illustration for this article with a low-resolution version of the defunct company's logo; this constitutes fair use under U.S. law as far as my understanding goes, based on Wikipedia's explanation given on the upload page. No other illustration can replace the logo itself.
Replaceable?	Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
