Many PC ore jennies wore their PRR paint until Conrail. An example of two are PRR class G39A's 13940 and 13882, seen in Cleveland, Ohio. Some PC ore jennies were sprayed with foam on their exteriors, like the foam remains on the 13940. The foam was supposed to keep the ore inside warmer and keep it from freezing, making unloading difficult. However, the experiment was not successful, and the practice was stopped.
