Well not really... It's actually for a TV ad for CSX and General Electric. One for the locomotives and one for the Tropicana Juice Train. Those cameras will record the whole trip from Bradenton, FL to Kearny, NJ.
For those who don't know the Juice Train is a unit train that carries Tropicana Orange Juice from the plant in Florida to New Jersey for the metropolitan NYC area. And can be easily identified by the White and Orange Tropicana refrigerator cars. Other area's the cars go are Cincinnati, OH. Chicago, IL. and points west, but move on hot UPS Trailer and Intermodal trains.

On a trip to Ashland, Virginia, (a little north of Richmomd), I watched several units travel north toward
Washington DC. I would say "Thats alot of juice"
