Al,

The letterboard was completely blank, with the "SANTA FE" removed. The only lettering on the cars were the number (I think they ATSF numbers were simply left on) and the NJDOT logos on the ends of the cars. I've attached a few photos from my collection to get you started. Note that the coaches were not all of the same style - note the different number placements and skirting.

The book I mentioned is an eBook and can be purchased/downloaded here:
