Those are probably 3M Scotchlite Keystones designed to survive thermonuclear warfare.  The PRR used them on a variety of equipment in the final decade.

We WILL survive.  :D

Yep.  That's why the PRR was called "The Standard Railroad of the World".

I know... thus the 'we make our own standards' joke there :P  At least they new well enough to borrow superior designs from the N&W, and to leave them them alone and just reap dividends

Here's a great starting point...an unnumbered Pennsy SD-35 from Atlas.

Note the two Scotchlight keystones on the side...!

Dave:  Sure enough.  Like I said, odd by Northwest standards, but then, the East has always seemed a little odd to me, ever since moving back here.
