the 3 yellow looking boxes. i'm sorry for my lack of knowledge on this.Steve (up6553) Date: 11/17/12 06:39 Re: When the Cardinal had Superliners Author: mgwsy1978 The black things around the track and under the CR unit are mats that catch fuel spills and oil leaks so they don't soak into the ground. The 3 Yellow boxes are not boxes but stairs that go down the the inspection pit so crews can inspect under the loco.
