Lucas,

Is that a scale test car right behind the locos?
They usually run them on the rear because they don't have brakes. ?????

On third and fourth looks it seems to be a steel coil covered gon.

Which picture? The NS train has a coil steel car right behind the engines. The angle makes it look a lot shorter than what it is, as well as the fact that the boxcar behind it is 86' long

See my post after the question where I figured it out.
