That is an interesting illustration of what I was saying about NYC and P&LE lettering. Note that P&LE is lettered on the tender. The locomotive was legally P&LE 6401(?). The words New York Central System were sales/marketing slogan, you might say a brand name. There was no corporate entity with that name. It appeared on locomotives of other separate corporations such as the Peoria & Eastern and the Chicago River & Indiana.
What your saying makes sense, but doesn’t the New York Central Systems in big lettering ....way bigger than the tiny P&LE, kinda say “who’s your daddy?” and “don’t forget it”..................Pat
