I saw these paint markings on the rails of a freight line in Charlemont, Massachusetts in early May. The specific line is known as the Patriot Corridor/East Portal of the Hoosac Tunnel. They are newly painted as they weren’t there in March, and they seem to be spaced every 100 yards or so.

I apologize if this is not the appropriate sub to post and ask. I also wonder if the markings may be related to local public works and utilities or state infrastructure of some sort - in that case I’ll inquire elsewhere!

I can also confirm there is no known Ukrainian population in the area but nonetheless, support for Ukraine! and it also rhymes with train!
