Modeling PRR Work Train

A while back I switched from modeling the Pennsylvania to modeling the Erie. More recently, I cleared out a bunch of n scale Pennsylvania stuff. I have a bunch of stuff that I am in the process of figuring out if I have a use for or really need to keep. You all know how it goes, all of the extra accumulation that rarely gets run. One loco in particular is a PRR H9 that I bought off of @cbroughton67 a couple of years ago when he put it on eBay. Since I don't typically model any mow service and I do run at train shows, I thought it might be an interesting use for it.

I have been looking online and haven't found many photos of pre-yellow mow equipment. I am not really sure what would have been appropriate for a train of this type. Hopefully of some of the Pennsylvania guys will be able to help. Here is a list of rolling stock that I have that I could weather or re-paint.

Try this for some additional info, hit the search button: http://jbritton.pennsyrr.com/index.php/tpm/386-database-maintenance-of-way-equipment-roster?fbclid=IwAR1_jS2Htq0Xoe29dgroW95oeORiBNsbFv6uyT85KPryu-0PuWtcVUVZ8CQ

Once you find a road number, you might search google images next.

For example a search for PRR 194756 listed as an "Ice Breaker Car", yielded this:
