Nice shot. March 16 was a Sat. Palm Sunday was March 24. What does "RRT" on the nose of the loco mean? Is this loco pushing on the back end since I see what looks like a FRED hanging there? And no ditch lights. Just curious.

I don't know what RRT means but this entire train, caboose and all was being pulled by Q439

It's definitely not pushing if there is an SBU or "FRED" on it.

I thought U-Boat GE's were gone for good a long time a ago.

This is not an operational locomotive. It's used for training purposes only.

LOL! "Is it pushing?". That's funny right there. I don't care who you are!

I don't know for sure but putting two and two together in regard to fire fighters, trains and my experience in Envrionmental Emergency Response; RRT might stand for "Regional Response Team" in this case. RRT is what USEPA calls their ad-hoc groups who respond to Hazmat Emergencies. Represented on a "team," depending on the severiy and scale of an emergency, typically are Federal, State and local fire and envrionmental critters, RR reps and clean-up contractor personnel.
