I am looking at the pictures of the newly issued Atlas Trainman 40' plug door cars and see a nifty little cars from the Columbus and Greenville RR - check out the livery - it runs over the plug door... for not logical reason, as there would be space for it to be on the panels. Further, Atlas has painted the letters into the seam between the plug door and panels....

I can't find a prototype picture to prove or disprove the paint scheme but it looks like an "oops" to these eyes......... Anyone got any clue ?
