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.

Dat vond in ieder geval een deel van de bevolking van Culemborg toen A.J. Ausems, eigenaar van een succesvolle kledingzaak annex confectie-atelier, in 1914 dit hoogst modern vormgegeven pand liet optrekken, midden op de Markt nota bene.
I wanted to upload this ages ago but the roofline was off even with my 28/2.8. But I'm trying out Bibble, whose lens correction satisfies my need for overhead plumbity.

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.

GSGHAS With Ex-Southern Pacific now patched 6318 leads fresh produce west of Cheyenne, WY under spring thunder showers in fine form in a very Stein-ish-style scene, with just a kiss of a Wyoming sunset. Long live the Espee and Richard Steinheimer.

Scanned and traced a sketch called “They Know” . It’s part of a bigger work I’m working on right now. It is going to be a print or a painting…don’t know yet…

Anyone else finding it hard to put a positive spin on this holiday time?

Suddenly my bike has a new name. Lettering by Laura Serra. Painted by Elena Albertoni. Laura’s design is inspired by various Chromeography examples, especially the East German motorcycle maker, Simson.
The saga of these numbers continues with an exciting new chapter. In 2021, as the Sun Valley Villagers remodeled and rebranded (to Creekside), they stripped all the old wooden numbers and unceremoniously tossed them in the dumpsters during construction. We saved as many as we could, including a full set (0–9), our own 1303, and an extra 5321 for back home in Oakland. The original designer and manufacturer is still unknown.
