CR 502166 had experimental foam installed at one time, hence the placard reporting marks. 110 cars were coated, supposedly the last cars in the class.

We're not sure what the second-to-last digit is. Since ore cars were about as low priority as one could get on Conrail's rolling stock roster, it should be no surprise that the railroad never bothered to repaint many of these cars, especially when the reporting marks were the same under Conrail as they were under Penn Central or the Pennsylvania. The PC logos are interesting here. Plus, note the original PRR number.

Poke-holes visible on the side for thawing with steam were never repeated with the G39 class. Holes in G39's would stick open.

It was late in the evening when John caught this PRR car in 1995. There were Conrail, Penn Central, and Pennsylvania cars all in the same train, which was common to see.
