I'm trying to keep my model railroad as genuine to the time period
1938 to 1948 as possible.

Question: What lettering and or logos did Cof NJ use on boxcars and
other freight during this time period?

What few pics I've seen from this time frame show no Cof NJ equipment
at
all. Your experience and insight on this subject is extremely
important to me.

Thanks in advance!!

If you have the time to post all these questions, you have the time to do
some research on your own.

So where would one do this kind of research, pray tell? I'm guessing
this kind of information is much more readily available in print
publications than online, making the typical response "just Google it"
less than helpful.

Etc.

However, you're correct about the superiorly of print sources. Try:

PS: Google search took less than two minutes, not including poking
around the websites themselves.

Ditto!

The first time was happenstance, second time coincidence, everything after
that enemy action!

Less time than he spent cutting and pasting his 'questions'.
