Need a little help with this RR tag

[DPBOB]

Found this today. The Missouri Lines of the.......C.B.& ?. RY.CO.
I don't know what the middle letter is.
Could it be a Q?
or an O?
or a C?

Any value would be helpful too...

Also...What was it used for ?

And..

How old might it be ?

Thanks

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (Illinois) Railroad Company
In 1855, the name of the Chicago & Aurora Railroad, which included several of the area's early rail lines, was changed to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. This road, which operated mainly in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska, was a leading Chicago transportation line and local employer.

The "Q" operated to 1970 and was succeeded by the Burlington Northern RR.
