Jim,

 

I agree with Jim Nichols.  A quick search of the stenciling diagrams on the NWHS archives page yielded these two hits:

 

https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=24965 

https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=24964

 

Note the original date of the drawings is May 1941; perhaps someone at the archives can check the stenciling revision books and do a reverse search; this might help identify when stenciling was removed from the tenders.

I think it started earlier then that.

Does anyone know the exact dates for when "Norfolk & Western" was stenciled on locomotive cabs rather than on tender sides?  From photos I have seen it would maybe be mid to late '30s to early '40s.  

Thanks,

Jim Cochran
