One of the drawbacks of using YOUGHIOGHENY is that, if you spell it out, you'll need four "Y"s for every piece of rolling stock....some decal or dry transfer sets are stingy with letters that are not commonly used too much.
My own ELORA GORGE & EASTERN taught me that there aren't a lot of "G"s or "&"s in most lettering sets, although I learned to make "G"s from "C"s, "O"s, and "Q"s, and even "D"s, but there's not much available for ampersands.
That's why the reporting marks are mostly like this...

...rather than this...

Passenger cars got the full version, with the ampersand, though...
