The 5th picture down is the isolation valve for the air brake system on flatcar 6214. After upgrading the air lines from schedule 40 to schedule 80, a system check revealed the only major leak was this valve. We were struggling to take it apart (for the first time in 90 years?) so we could repair the leak.
We were not successful and will have to complete this repair in work week G.
