Does it have to be paint?

Broad Street in Columbus, OH (taken through my cracked windshield).

I heard a couple of trains on that line when I was nearby, but I wasn't able to catch one. Google's street view did though:

Closer view of the "Chesapeake and Ohio" "Pere Marquette" is also visible, especially on the other side.

I outlined the "Chesapeake and Ohio" in red, and the "M" from "Pere Marquette" in blue.

"Ohio Railway" and letters from "Marquette" can be seen in this view.

Here is a view of the other side:

Some "Pere Marquette" lettering is showing through to the left of the clearance sign.
