On October 11, 1987, the first Wisconsin Central freight train to climb Byron Hill out of Shops Yard at North Fond du Lac, approaches the top of the grade at Byron, Wisconsin. Apparently, crews at the locomotive shop in town spent the morning removing Soo Line lettering from the locomotives and applying WC initials to the cabs of these three units to symbolically show the flag of the new railroad as soon as possible.
Pretty impressive artistic carving on this Hallowe'en pumpkin that was just 'screaming' to be photographed! Happy Hallowe'en everyone!

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.

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.
Wearing a new coat of Scarlet Red and Lark Gray paint with speed lettering, a Southern Pacific SD45T-2 leads a 66-car UT16L "dirt train" on the Mapleton Bench at Springville, Utah on Sept. 22, 1994.
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”.

Exhibitions kermesse entitled "The City of Lights"
Installazione di Maurizio Nannucci
Among the most powerful interpreters of artificial light in contemporary art, ideally invites to imagine the contrary, a creative attitude, virtuous and curious.
This neon light installation, presented in preview at the Salone del mobile, will be definitely positioned and hosted at the Politecnico (Architecture University) in Milano as a sign and symbol of the importance an high value of School and Education.
Nannucci has frequently used neon glass coloured tubes as visual and conceptual Art to show his statements with the strength to last. And when a work becomes lettering or, better, WordArt, viewers are invited to read...
Other quotes by him are: "New Times for other Ideas", "Changing place, changing time, changing thoughts, changing future"...
"Everything might be different"...
"You can imagine the opposite" is a powerful exhortation to think the exact opposite, because, as Bruno Munari used to ask in his Mantra "But can't it be done another way?", another possibility always exists.
Special thanks to my model Celeste (what a better name?) for having posed for me meeting my request to not stand still, but, instead, to keep walking to reach a more dynamic effect in real motion.

Note the lettering 'Patient treatment in progress please knock and wait'
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.
Four of the Southern Railway's elegant E-8s idle away at Ivy City engine yard in Washington DC. The units arrived on this morning's Southern Crescent and will return south on this evening's Crescent. The Crescent was named after the arc of its route from the New Orleans to New York. These E-units were dressed in a vibrant green and cream with gold lettering and stripes - even including the name of the train they were assigned to beneath the number boards. The installation of tank air reservoirs on the roof of the unit over each engine only enhanced the overall design. It's clearly obvious where the engine washing brushes contact the nose of the engine.
De belettering is intussen na een renovatie opnieuw aangebracht, maar in een iets strakkere stijl

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.
