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.

Good old Big Blue in its final prosperous years... on 23 May 1997 a westbound auto rack train leaves the Syracuse skyline in the background, behind a solid six-unit set of six-axle units, with C36-7 No. 6639 leading an SD50, a C30-7, and three C40-8W wide nose units, two of them with LMS lettering.
Milwaukee North Line #2135 blasts out of Grayslake, its' 70MACH cranking out for Round Lake on the Fox Lake Subdivision on a gorgeous fall afternoon in my neighborhood. You know the light is getting sweet and low when the black lettering on the sides turn gray! Its my weekend, so grab a beer, pop a fresh battery in the DJI and flyover from my place to the tracks for the next rush hour train...
In July 1995 at Tehachapi Loop, I spotted a rare boxcar with "Southern Pacific" in speed lettering. The fans were out in force.
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.
After capturing this train at Yucca it was a straightforward chase to this location as the train would be struggling coming up through Kingman Canyon. The trio of GE Dash 9s look remarkably uniform thanks to the Kansas City Southern livery also sporting red lettering on a grey background similar to the Warbonnet silver. This is a proper intermodal with doublestacks, TOFC and autoracks.
De belettering is intussen na een renovatie opnieuw aangebracht, maar in een iets strakkere stijl

Tessa, one of our child life specialists, made 20+ (I think) signs that line the employee entrance to the hospital. She's SO talented at hand-lettering, and it brightens everyone's day.
I was attracted to this building because of its odd shape and the old painted lettering ... something about clam chowder, bouillon & biscuits gave me an appetite for this one. I flirted with a crop on the right but then opted for this due to the ad on the building in the mid right portion of the photo. The more modern building, in the right foreground, along with that billboard made for a nice contrast with the older architecture in the center. Plus the late autumn sun was shining on it at just the right moment and that sun was playing a game of peek-a-boo with the clouds ... so what are you gonna do? You have to go for the opportunity I say ... and so I did.
I love the fire escapes on the building that pass up through the painted lettering. The room air conditioners have an almost surreal effect. There's a lot going on here and I chose to crop out the entire foreground to showcase the building.
This was taken in New York City's Meatpacking District.

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.

Lettering added hastily in post-pro rather than trying to figure out decals.
