I thought I'd use the crown that I made yesterday for today's photo too...waste not want not. I always like to get more than one use from a prop, especially if it's one i've made.

In March of 1991, Southern Pacific introduced a new logo, called "speed lettering", inspired by the stacked Rio Grande logo. It was first applied to a group of rebuilt GP40M-2s by MK in Boise, Idaho. Initially, a smaller version of the logo was applied to SP 7107-7111, later adopting a larger version with SP 7112 on April 15, 1991.
Doug was on hand to catch the first two units with the officially adopted logo leading an EUCHX train through Ogden, Utah.
In total, SP applied speed lettering to 1,035 locomotives including new acquisitions from EMD, GE, rebuilt MK, and Southern Pacific, Rio Grande, and St. Louis Southwestern repaints.

The bold SOO lettering on the hood of this candy apple red SD40-2 has held up well over the last 30 years.
This is the former SOO No. 6617, which was built in April of 1983. It survived on the CP for a while before it was sold to Respondek's Squaw Creek Southern Railroad in southern Indiana. It's now in the possession of Mike Roberts, owner of Railway Service Contractors, Inc.
The lettering on the engineer's side of the hood of this unit was patched and stylized to read "SCS" for the Squaw Creek Southern. 12/11/23.
from M Parker's library: "look at the rich blacks!" esteemed as the most gorgeously printed book ever (poorly photographed here), from post war Germany. Zapf did all lettering. i've forgotten the punch cutter's name. bad form.
Cutout lettering at the bottom of a portable digital signboard, mounted on a trailer and left on a street corner. The message it is currently displaying is about COVID-19 safety, such as reminding people to wear masks.

BNSF 763 "Fakebonnet" engine (one that looks like the old Santa Fe livery, but uses BNSF lettering) flies eastbound past the Shabbona, IL ex-CB&Q train depot. This is a BNSF high priority train, with the symbol Z-PTLCHC. He'll bring packages and other goods to UPS on a chilly Saturday night with the last vestiges of dusk showing.

Painted in Grinstein Green, the BNSF lettering is still hanging on well after being applied to the hood of BNSF SD70MAC No. 9786 27 years ago. Though painted in BN's Executive paint scheme, this engine was delivered after the BNSF merger. 12/21/24.
Mortimer Leach (1906–1975) was one of America’s leading lettering artists, and his work can be found in advertising throughout magazines and newspapers of the 1930s–60s. As an ArtCenter instructor, he taught many career letterers, a legacy that continued through the equally influential Doyald Young, and his Lettering for Advertising (1956) and Letter Design in the Graphic Arts (1960) are some of the best instructional books on the subject. At Letterform Archive we have a small grouping of his original inked boards (including tiny white-out corrections). I think they were some of the first pieces I saw when I visited Rob Saunders before there was an Archive. This week, I identified two originals that were reproduced in Lettering for Advertising: “Lockheed Constellation” and “The Bryson Lectures”.
So we thought we'd made a good purchase on a couple of ex-UP SD70s. But considering all the emissions requirements and the extra money they'd cost us to operate yearly, and the fact that the Lake States Railway wanted to do some horse trading, we let the 70s go to them in a trade for a couple SD40s. We put them in service upon arrival, but repainting is far down the list of priorities right now. So I came up with a lettering plan to incorporate into the Lake State's blue and grey paint scheme. This is the result and it should work for a while. We've also had many compliments on the layout so everyone's happy until we can eventually break open the IN black and yellow paint cans.
