SEPTA Gel Train with ALCO (they even put it on the side in big letters to advertise the fact) FA-1 615. It started out life as Great Northern 442A and later Burlington Northern 4116 before it was sold to the Long Island Railroad in the 1970's and converted to a power pack (basically a cab control unit that provides head end power) and operated as such until retirement in 1999.
Pressure washer and gel dispensing equipment on SEPTA flat car SPAX 2106. The bare flat car was acquired with its sister car 2107 last year by SEPTA, and was previously KRL 51141.
