What railroads had sleepers painted in Tuscan with the Pennsy striping with their own name on the letterboards?
PRR:
N&W:
L&N:
RF&P:
Where there other roads that did this?

Good question. PRR had 10-6 painted for run through for off line roads. I think you got the major ones in tuscan.
ACL, I posted a photo some time back, I'd have to look to make sure it was a 10-6 though.
At one time there was through Pullman service with PRR and MP on the Penn Texas, but I cannot say whether the Pullmans were 10-6's or which color scheme they wore.

In the 1950's the Penn Texas used to depart from Baltimore around 8:50 or so at night going up the Northern Central to Harrisburg where it joined the New York connection to St Louis. Generally the sleeping car for this connection was a 10 and 6 in Missouri Pacific colors labeled "The Eagle" across the letter board with a small PRR at the ends of the car. Eagle Oak was one of the car names.
Not many, but N&W had a few sleepers that fit that description.
If you can add the fluted siding to the cars and the corrugation to the roof. I believe the Santa Fe had a similar car.

There were plenty of fluted Pennsylvania cars painted or lettered to match other roads. I'm curious about non PRR smooth side tuscan painted cars with the stripes above and below the windows only. There are even smooth PRR cars painted to match other roads, I'm not interested in those either.
