Stretching the topic a bit.  You never said the bridge had to be over a road!

This is the BNSF bridge over the Duwamish Waterway south of Harbor Island in Seattle, under the notorious West Seattle Bridge.  Retained as part of the bridge is the heritage Northern Pacific logo.

Centerra Parkway (I hate that name. We all know you're really CR 5), on the east side of Loveland.

Monroe, N.C. still has a logo for the short-lived Seaboard System.
Was about to include this in my post until I noticed you had already done it.

I wonder how common these old Seaboard System badges are on overpasses? There can't be very many of them because of how short-lived they were.

I know there's a pair in Attalla, AL, and a pair in Waycross, GA, which I've linked earlier in the thread, but that brings the total known up to three.

Apex 1, Apex 2, Cary, Franklinton, and Henderson, N.C.

Pretty old Seaboard engraving in Charlotte.

CSX logo near Charlotte. Don't see that often.

Speaking of CSX logos, here's one that's faded into a ghost.  This was nailed up over an existing B&O logo (still peeking around the edges).  US 42/224, west of Lodi, OH.

On nearly every other online platform I go by Kurzov - Katavia is a holdover from the past.

Oklahoma country legends Cross Canadian Ragweed patterned their logo on the old Cotton Belt logo. Great band. I hate modern Nashville country,  but these guys are awesome. Cody Canada was heavily influenced by Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and you can hear it in the music.



Here's one of their more popular songs:
