Fair use in Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad
It is believed that this image qualifies under fair use because:
- The image depicts the official corporate logo for the entity described by the article.
- The image is being used for identification purposes.
- Use of a low-resolution, black and white version of the logo does not hamper or dilute the copyright holder's use of the original image (although displayed is not the Original logo).
- No free alternatives are available.
