Reply to "Northern Pacific.........Airlines?"

The 'new' Rock Island, "Rock Island Rail" has the full name "Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad LLC". It purchased the rights to the railroad name, and the right to use "The Rock" and the "R" logo from the previous owner of those trademarked items. If it hadn't, the owner of those trademarks could have (would have) filed an injunction against them to make them stop.

A company being sold or merged etc. doesn't stop the company's legal name from being registered with the federal government and in all the states it does business in. You can't call a new railroad "St.Paul & Duluth" because that name is owned by BNSF who got it via BN who got it via NP, who bought the St.P&D in 1900.
