On Pg. 13 of the current (Jan.) issue of Trains, there is a photo of an FEC train crossing a bridge. Between the two engines is a an unusual car. Does anyone know what that is? Maybe something in need of special handling? Some kind of alternative fuel tank car? I don't think I have ever before seen a car sandwiched between units like that.
Still in training.
It's a LNG tender, for supplying LNG to the locomotive.
FEC operates 'dual fuel' ES44C4s.
What happened to all the responses I remember reading to this question? Did he ask it in more than one forum?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I'm not sure what happened. I did post twice, because after the first time, it did not appear. I even looked at the list of my recent posts, and it had disappeared. ??? So I posted again.
Now it appears the first one materialized, but instead of being in Locomotives, I must have actually put it in Steam & Preservation.
Sorry. I'm old.
Like me, you should certainly be forgiven. (87)
Should I replace the photo with one showing my age?

I think we can guess from the sepia tone photograph, that it was taken some time ago.

I don't know about the photo, but I can only hope I'm as sharp as you are when I reach that age (IF I reach that age).
