| Not the best photo, this is a detail of a unit rail train EOT. This one quietly creeped throught the station area at Omiya before coming to a stop awaiting a green signal. Rail trains are short by our standards, usually about 12 or so of these 40 ft.[?] flats. MoW equiptment are painted in classic black. As is obvious, rather than carry the rail on racks as we do, JR practice is to stack them compactly rail head to base on the car deck. I never saw any F.R.E.D.'s in use there, EOT is simply indicated with the 2 red pie plate targets on the last car. |
