Santa Fe Sign atop the Railway Exchange Building, Chicago

Santa Fe Sign atop the Railway Exchange Building, Chicago,  7 x 9 inch ink, watercolor and colored pencil
by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

For many years this electric Santa Fe Railroad logo sign appeared atop the historic Railway Exchange Building on Chicago's Michigan Avenue overlooking Grant Park.  It has been replaced now by another corporate logo sign, but the Santa Fe sign has been acquired by the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, where it is being restored for display there.  This is how it used to look against the night sky.
