 Driver striping was not standard and appears to have been done for a few select builder's photos. It was not even standard for builder's photos.

 I am looking at what is most likely an "as built" photo of Eng 2100 (N&W photo.)  The driving wheel tires are painted white, as are the commensurate circumference areas on the pony and trialing truck wheels.
1.)  Did the N&W apply driver striping to all newly built engines, or was this something done just for sake of the builder's photo?
2.)  If driver striping was standard practice, when did the practice cease?  In the 1950s, I never saw an engine with white driver striping.
