Here’s an attractive luggage sticker I found at the Minnesota History Center. The colorful sticker uses the NP monad logo to simultaneously show a two-toned green train traveling through Northwest forests and present the railroad’s “Main Street of the Northwest” slogan.

NP introduced the streamlined North Coast Limited in stages beginning in 1948. While it wasn’t fully streamlined for several more years, that fact was ignored in railroad advertising. While this particular sticker may have been printed later, it was probably first introduced in 1948.
