The railroad initials shown in the logo on the face of the plate, StLIM&S and I&GN, provide some evidence that the plate was produced prior to the consolidation of Iron Mountain and MP, and well before I&GN became I-GN. I have been told that there is another version of this plate which has MP in place of Iron Mountain, but if such exists, I have never seen any photo evidence.
