Found this picture while poking around. The description was as follows :

What is this thing? It looks like a flat car with a single bulkhead about 1/4th of the way from one end. Note the set of hoses hanging off the end of the car and the yellow/orange lights on the bulkhead and on the CSX loco in front of it. Any thoughts anyone ? /DL

I’ve got no idea. The car looks like it’s got a set of horns on the top of the bulkhead and it has flashing warning lights, but no xtra headlights or anything like that. Anyone know what it’s for?
