Yes. Apparently the "Remote Control Locomotive" placard is too big to fit between the rear-most access door hinge and the rear corner of the hood, so the placard wraps around the corner slightly.

That is not on the locomotive; it's a traffic stanchion that for some reason was left on the ground beyond the locomotive, next to the street. It's still there now.

By the way, the eagle-eyes probably noticed the lights on the rear of the locomotive. It was running long-hood-forward when the photo was taken.
