A decorative banner with a winged emblem and the name "Olde Yankee" sets this picture apart from the other railroad views on the board. Banners like this were often displayed on locomotives, at stations, and at celebrations or excursions, where a painted device helped give a train or event its identity. Winged wheels and winged figures were popular railroad symbols in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suggesting speed, power, and distant travel. The record does not say who designed the banner or where it was displayed, so its exact purpose is a matter of informed interpretation.
