My best guess would be the paint is peeling.

Somebody definitely took a varity of stencils of bird and animal silhouettes and painted them in various locations / attitudes with white paint. Note the deer below the number on the side of the cab.

If the paint is "pealing," does that make the locomotive bell ring?
