She was out in the open, but at least this location (beside the carbarn) provides cover from one side...

The old girl still looks darn good despite the fact that she's picked up a few more rivets. It also looks like a fresh coat of paint that hasn't been lettered yet. Is that why she was outside?

I doubt it. She was out there the whole time I worked there this summer. If I remember right the PRR 4935 and RDG 800 were going to receive work after the X-54 and the covered hopper (I am really bad with car classes). I believe the paint is actually a black primer to stave off rust before the next round of restoration.

Believe Nick is right re the primer. She looks ( at least from a hurried once-over) to be in pretty good shape for her age.

The hopper was in the paint shed in her "new" PC colors, while pinstriped 4935 was in the carbarn - I'll be posting some pics of these too, although the tight confines in both locales kept me from getting any overall shots.

Everyone: This info on 4800 is good to see! I recall taking a tour of the RMPA site privately and asking why it was not under cover-the reason is that the Lancaster Chapter-NRHS was the owner-not the museum and I noticed that myself it was beginning to rust thru on spots. The original PRR paint style was fine-hopefully that what they will restore. Someone in the know can post if the RMPA has taken title to 4800. I feel it should be treated with a little TLC due to the fact that it is just one of a kind. 4935 looks great inside RMPA. The GG1 has always been one of my favorite locomotives. MACTRAXX

Okay Fellas,

What is going on here ??? Last time I saw kl# 4800 she was Brunswick Green with cats whiskers. What happened ??? She looks naked in basic black.
