Bill and all

I have the original MP painting diagram for this or 1976, they are put away but I will look for today. they are very large.

I have no use for them so we or MPHS need to figure out what to do with them.

OK according to the drawing this was done at the MP Mech Department St Louis 1 26 1976

Does anyone have drawings of the lettering on these bicentennial locomotives? They were painted at North Little Rock, but one report suggests that the detailed lettering was handled by an outside contractor for Baird Signs in Little Rock. Can anyone provide additional information on how this design was developed and who might have been involved in the lettering?
