Yep, it was a junior line under Elgins, for a year or two before the war. And, Westfield, who also had a 'Columbus' badge that's almost identical! Note the "501" for Westfield, as opposed to Murray's 502. -Adam

Thanks for the info man!
The paint is great on this one. Just a little bit of cleaning will really make this pop even more.
