I am only speculating. When the N&W leased the P&WV, and all of its equipment, they probably had the former NKP Bellevue Shops do a "quickie" re-paint to indicate that the N&W was the lessee of business car #400. The quickie re-paint merely involved replacing the P&WV letterboard with N&W letterboard and substituting #103 for #400 as opposed to a true repaint. The photo of N&W #103 was probably taken by someone at Bellevue Shops to record their handywork.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">As I said, this is just idle speculation.
