Mark, <br />To my knowledge only sandblasting was used. Between the Milwaukee and the South Shore I did work for a private car operator in Chicago. We would have custom made drum signs for our clients. We would use Western Sandblasting of Chicago. At the time, in the early '80s, it was still run by Bob Pine whose family founded the company. They had made almost all the drum signs for railroads, a lot of etched glass partitions for Pullman-Standard's streamlined equipment, the etched mirrors for the 400, and most signs and glass for the major Chicago hotels. In fact he had a pile of etched mirrors and partitions stacked in a corner of his shop. It was all done with sandblasting. Beautiful work I might add. We had a mirror acid etched for the private car by someone in the Twin Cities. It never matched the depth or resound of Mr. Pine's work. <br />Mitch
