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.

Among a large number of SD70M's, a pair of baby tunnel motors sit stored at the former HB&T Congress Yard near Downtown Houston on a sunny Spring morning.
Both former Missouri Pacific units, UPY 660 was built as MP 1660 and UPY 638 was built as MP 1638. And UPY 638 is still wearing its North Little Rock-style block lettering from the mid-80's, with some Jenks Blue showing through.

Safeway and former SuperS Drug Store located at 860 and 872 North Delaware St. in San Mateo,CA. This is (in my opinion) the most intact Safeway and SuperS Drug Store combo remaining. The Safeway received a few very low budget updates in the early 1980's removing the abstract interior and white-washing the walls and painting the same phrases e.g. "Garden Fresh Produce" with basic red lettering. Aside from the paint and the 1980's aisle hangers the layout of the store has hardly changed at all. The proof that changes have not been made is the colored floor which went in with the specific departments Red=Meat, Yellow=Dairy, Green=Produce, etc. Best of all the exterior of the store still has a mosaic CircleS symbol. The SuperS became a PaynSave then a Bills Drug Store. Bills was purchased by Longs and many locations including this one were remodeled and the Bills name was dropped for Longs Drugs. The exterior of both buildings remains in very good condition with very little renovations ever taking place!
Unfortunately all good things seem to come to an end. This shopping center is slated to be heavily remodeled and Safeway plans to takeover a portion of the former SuperS now Longs. A bit of supermarket history will be gone when this shopping center is renovated this Fall of 2008.

Denver & Rio Grande Western’s K-28 #477 leads the ‘The Silverton’ mixed train near the Animas Canyon, as it journeys southward back to Durango, Colorado.
This photograph was captured during a photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, organised by Trains Magazine. K-28 2-8-2 #473 had been re-numbered for the event to portray #477 with Rio Grande ‘speed lettering’ while working on the D&RGW.

The Liberty Bell an iconic symbol of American independence, located in the Old City District of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Once placed in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House (now renamed Independence Hall), the bell today is located across the street in the Liberty Bell Centre in Independence National Historical Park. The bell was commissioned in 1752 by the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly from the London firm of Lester and Pack and was cast with the lettering "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof", a Biblical reference.
The bell first cracked when rung after its arrival in Philadelphia and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appear on the bell. In its early years, the bell was used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens about public meetings and proclamations.
The bell acquired its distinctive large crack sometime in the early 19th century—a widespread story claims it cracked while ringing after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. The bell became famous after an 1847 short story claimed that an aged bellringer rang it on July 4, 1776, upon hearing of the Second Continental Congress' vote for independence.
Although the bell did not ring for independence on that July 4, the tale was widely accepted as fact, even by some historians. Beginning in 1885, the city of Philadelphia—which owns the bell—allowed it to go to various expositions and patriotic gatherings. The bell attracted huge crowds wherever it went, additional cracking occurred, and pieces were chipped away by souvenir hunters. The last such journey occurred in 1915, after which the city refused further requests.
After World War II, Philadelphia allowed the National Park Service to take custody of the bell, while retaining ownership. It was used as a symbol of freedom during the Cold War and was a popular site for protests in the 1960s. It was moved from its long-time home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion on Independence Mall in 1976, and then to the larger Liberty Bell Centre adjacent to the pavilion in 2003. The bell has been featured on coins and stamps, and its name and image have been widely used by corporations.

A quartet of Missouri Pacific C30-7s keep a UP SD40-2 company at Yard Center, in March 1986. The GEs were delivered the year before in 1985, in UP paint, but with MP lettering.
A lonely pair of 70DACUs in helper service drift past Pennsylvania Railroad EFS-17M (aka EMD GP9) #7048, which replaced K4s #1361 as a display at Horseshoe Curve.
#7048 is fresh from its most recent cosmetic restoration, which included correctly painting the locomotive in its as-delivered Dark Green Locomotive Enamel, and lettering from the correct PRR diagrams. The low autumn morning sun shows the color is, in fact, green! The museum accomplished this for less than $5,000 and over 120 hours of volunteer labor. To support the museum's efforts, including the rebuilding of K4s #1361 to operation and other projects (a PC N-10 Cabin is next), visit www.railroadcity.org
A visual dialogue between eras in the heart of the Eternal City.
This frame captures a young man on an electric scooter passing in front of a modern corten steel installation.
The perforated "ROMA" lettering acts as a contemporary filter, while the historic domes of the churches of Santa Maria di Loreto and Santissimo Nome di Maria rise majestically in the background.
This shot is a testament to the "human comedy" on the stage of daily life, where ancient architecture and modern urban mobility coexist under the dramatic Roman sky.
Documented during my ongoing exploration of Rome's street and documentary photography.
De belettering is intussen na een renovatie opnieuw aangebracht, maar in een iets strakkere stijl

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.
