I just remembered this famous postcard view, titled "Loading Deer at Strong, Me.". It's shown on page 227 of volume 1 of Two Feet Between the Rails by Jones, and available online at Vintage Maine Images (They date it to circa 1915, but I think it's more likely pre-1908.)
Zooming in, the badge looks somewhat similar to John's and is rather different from the rectangular ones seen in later photos.
