Doug Harrop Photography • May 1, 1991
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.

Just another tighter angle of this scene because I love the green and gold foreground and the temporary Rutland logo and lettering.
This was the second photo stop on the southbound return from Burlington to Rutland on day two. Green Mountain Railroad Alco RS-1 405 was unable to lead southbound due to a speed restriction so it stayed on the north end of the train and VTR 307 (EMD GP40-2 blt. Oct. 1984 as SSW 7255) was added to lead the return trip south.
This was the only location where lighting worked to shoot the north end of the train featuring the 73 year old product of Schenectady (blt. Nov. 1951) relettered for the Rutland. Taken from parallel Jerusalem Road the three car train is crossing a short deck girder bridge over swamp land along the drainage of nearby Otter Creek at about MP 77.5 on the Vermont Railway's Northern Subdivision. About fifteen miles to the east dominating the horizon are the peaks in Green Mountain National Forest.
This line traces its history back to 1849 when the Rutland Railroad's mainline from Bellows Falls on the Connecticut River to Burlington opened by way of its namesake community. Interestingly, just under a mile to the south (right side of frame) was the junction with the Rutland's Addison Branch which opened in 1870 and reached 15.5 miles to Ticonderoga, NY by way of a treacherous floating drawbridge from Larrabees Point. After a half century the bridge and interchange at Ticonderoga were abandoned in 1921 leaving little more than a sleepy country branchline serving Whiting and Shoreham. While that branch is now but a memory a wooden covered railroad bridge dating from 1897 survives along the abandoned RofW of the branch in East Shoreham.

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.

Moritz Emanuel, a German Immigrant was founded of the company, which was at this location, from 1942-1982, but in several locations before this.
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.

Pakhuis aan de Oude Sluis in Schiedam. Uit oude foto's blijkt dat de tekst in de witte stroken luidde: LAMMERS & VAN DEN HEUVEL (boven) WIJNKOPERS (onder).
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.
Couldn't get all the lettering in, but the partial wording on the glass partition / sliding doors spell "Brisbane Powerhouse".
