These 4 railroads were owned and operated by the Van Sweringen family, so
that was the tie.

lettering and signs, and I can see why there might be some national standard
for such.  But why would 4, and only 4 railroads agree on a lettering
standard, and why those 4 particular railroads?  I know there were "family
ties" between the Erie and the Nickle Plate, but how do the other two
railroads fit in?
