A tank car in between two locos?

The two units in the unusual paint scheme are definitely something GE, but its hard to tell, maybe they are "C" I'll search for some more photos....

BN did have some B30-7A's, the A suffix indicating a cabless unit. I think they have now disposed of all of them. Some of them have ended up on the Providence and Worcester Railroad.[8D]

Are you sure it's "A"? Cause I know that E and F units with the cab were "A" and cabless were "B"?

Just to add a little more confusion to the situation, GE also produced a C30-7A for Conrail. In this case the "A" indicated a 12 cylinder prime mover rather than the standard 16 cylinder. My assumption would be that GE used the "A" suffix to indicate a modified version of the locomotive.
