Sorry for the late response. Just returned from a 3 week jaunt with no e-mail access.

It appears to me that the light is low on the horizon and coming from the nw or wnw assuming the photographer is facing north. This results in a harsh afternoon sun directly on the car to the left while the car to the right is blocked by the loco. This results in an over exposure of the car to the left and underexposure of the car to the right. None of which negates the idea that the gray color of PRR covered hoppers post 1954 varied mostly because of weathering and sun bleaching. Rich Orr

I've looked at this pic numerous times. I'm not trying to use it for a painting guide for PRR PS-2's. I'm looking at this as a photo showing that all PRR covered hoppers weren't snow white in color. I know that Kadee caught some flack because of the color choice they made for their offerings. If I'm reading this correctly then everything to the left of the guy riding the foot boards could have been developed darker than normal. Is that wrong or right in my assumption?
