According to the all-knowing web, Etihad is the national railway of the United Arab Emirates.  Hope the export business is enough to keep EMD/Progress Rail going until something happens on the domestic front and US railroads start buying new locomotives again.

It has a permanent 5-digit road number (55008) that you can see on the numberboards, but since the US computer systems only take 4-digit locomotive numbers, they gave it a temporary EMDX number on a peel off sheet.  When it arrives at its destination, simply pull off the sheet and your all set.

Near the back, about the level of the walkway, there are two round-ish things that look like they have a gray tarp or something over them.  Can anybody tell me what they are?

The sand filters aft of the dynamic brake fan are where the rear sand box normally is located.
