Somewhere I have read something (either in a book or on-line) that the NYC never owned any CZ cars and instead rented CZ sleeping cars from CB&Q to fulfill NYC's obligation to the CZ sleeper pool.
Can anyone confirm this ?

As to the NYC's car, and what was used, I can't answer that question off the top of my head, but I know it's come up before on the PCL list. I can check my information and verify that tonight and get back to you.

I read that the Pennsy and New York Central alternated delivering sleepers from Chicago through to New York, so, my question is, did the New York Central own a sleeper, as the PRR did? I can't imagine the NYC carrying a sleeper labeled "PRR", their arch-rival, on one of their trains.
