Non-free / fair use media rationale for Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway
Description	Logo of the Great Eastern Railway.
Source	The original uploader did not provide a source; User:Collard (who scaled down the image) is certain the source is http://www.gersociety.org.uk/index.htm?ger.htm
Article	Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway
Portion used	Full seal.
Low resolution?	Yes; less than 1 megapixel overall. Also reduced to 256 colours.
Purpose of use	To illustrate the Great Eastern Railway and Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway articles.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable.
Other information	It is likely that the copyright on this seal has expired; the GER was grouped into the LNER in 1923, and this seal likely predates it. The current status of the trademark is unclear; if there was one, it would have been handed to the LNER and then to British Rail[ways], which is now defunct. What is clear, is that the trademark and seal is currently in disuse by any of the GER's descendants. The Wikimedia Foundation is at no legal risk from using this seal.
