Einst eine beliebte Fotostelle, hat das Motiv bei Herbertshofen durch den Bau einer Schallschutzmauer an Attraktivität eingebüßt. Vermutlich auch deswegen ist sie inzwischen praktisch zugewachsen. Am 29. Mai 2021 begegnete mir dort die für TXLogistik fahrende 193 647 mit dem DGS 40565 von Padborg nach Verona Q.E.. Der MRCE Vectron weist eine Seitenwerbung auf, die an die wichtige Rolle des Schienengüterverkehrs während der Pandemie erinnern soll. Die eigentliche Besonderheit der Lok ist allerdings fotografisch kaum umsetzbar. Die Schrift leuchtet nämlich im Dunkeln. Um diesen Effekt zu erzielen, hat man wohl lumineszierendes Material verwendet.
Once a popular photo spot, the motif near Herbertshofen has lost some of its attractiveness due to the construction of a noise protection wall. Probably because of this, it is now practically overgrown. On 29 May 2021, I encountered 193 647 driving for TXLogistik with DGS 40565 from Padborg to Verona Q.E.. The MRCE Vectron features side advertising to commemorate the important role of rail freight during the pandemic. The actual special feature of the locomotive, however, is hardly photographically realisable. The lettering glows in the dark. To achieve this effect, luminescent material was used.

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.
Letters and number found on the box my granddaughter brought along with some activity in it yesterday. Pastel lettering and number.
For Macro Mondays, theme Pastel.
VTR 201 and 431 lead train 264 from Rockingham to Rutland, VT past a harvested corn field off Missing Link Road in Chester, VT. GP38-2 201 was just repainted with VRS lettering instead of VTR.
Blue Mountain & Reading’s former Reading 4-8-4 2102 crosses the Schuylkill River from Bridgeport to Norristown, Pennsylvania. The bold lettering on the tender pays homage to the bicentennial of the United States Constitution, and reads, “We the People of Reading and Berks County PA celebrate Constitution Day”.

A new resident of Thief River Falls has been around for weeks, making for photo opportunities around the holidays. FWDX 1868 is former BNSF 1868, BNSF 7809, BN 7809, and oringally built for the Colorado & Southern as 939. The Colorado & Southern lettering is visible above the numberboards. Talk about a locomotive with history. Had to get the Russell plow in the frame too with all the fresh snow around.
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.
Back to a Sony handheld shot.
If this was taken with my Nikon setup, the shot will come out looking easily 2 stops worse.
The Japanese letterings on the signs around the center of the frame are perfectly legible, no chance with my Nikon setup especially in marginal lighting conditions like this.
Sign outside an old-school tobacconist in the southern German town of Ladenburg.
The place has everything: Roman ruins, medieval half-timber houses, baroque churches, the automobile museum Dr. Carl Benz...
The problem is the town is just down the road from Heidelberg, where all the tourists throng.
Ladenburg is well worth a visit, if only to avoid the madding crowd.
The Tuscan red & gray paint scheme, with gold accents, rolled debuted on Canadian Pacific in 1949. About 10 years later, in 1960, a modified version of the paint scheme was released featuring script lettering on the long hood. Jump forward another 60 years, and CP decided to revive the paint scheme on 5 rebuilt SD70ACU's in 2019. They look very good.
CP 2816 and the Final Spike Tour needed an additional diesel due to issues with one of the FP9's on Rich Mountain, and to help with upcoming grades in Mexico. When the train arrived in Shreveport, someone noticed CP 7013 nearby and realized its paint fit in perfectly with the special. They gave it an impromptu bath and added it to the train. Freshly washed, that script lettering looks really nice.

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”.
