Weathered Worms
The dense tree cover against the Domestic Castings siding on the old PRR Cumberland Valley Line shielded PC 184301 from most of the day's sunlight for decades, which helped the paint hang in there for more than 40 years. It is in great shape for its age, but the move into direct sunlight all day long means the original paint won't last long. The process to find a contractor to strip and repaint the car is just getting started, and the worms (and the rest of the car's Penn Central appearance) will be restored with modern paint and vinyl.
