The cabooses and some of the diesel switchers had a script version of "The Right Way" applied during the 40's, some lasting into at least the mid 50's.

Todd and Justin thanks for clearing that up and now I'm bummed as I really like the slogan.  Oh well we must be prepared for the prototype police.  So no slogan on the layout.

The "Right Way" wasn't added to freight cars till after Sept 1954, The 50' PS-1's were the first freight cars to carry this lettering.

By the way, did these first versions come with "The Right Way" slogan or was that added later?
