Down at mp 297 I thought I included that this morning (was up at 5am so was tired ). Not sure, couldn't make out reporting marks, but it looked similar to one of those units MBTA is getting.. Was in primer an had a reporting mark I couldn't read. I have the video to process which may give me a better idea of what it was.
