So what was this done for--some marking are obvious others not so obvious.  Was this just grafittee?  This was also seen quite often on the D&RGW up through abandonment.  Those are some marked up cars--would make an interesting model detail.

Notice the extension to the air hose,both on 1008 and 1003.Notice that the brakeman/conductor appears to be using a club on the  brake wheel.
