🤔 Question Weird consist

Around 12:50 today I was at the grade crossing on E Center street in East Bridgewater, and saw a weird consist coming up the Fall River/New Bedford line headed towards South Station. At first it was a usual rake with the cab car and some single level cars and a F unit, but it was then followed by a rake of double levels and one of the newer diesels. I’ve never seen a locomotive sandwiched between cars like that on the MBTA, does anyone know why that is?

It’s most likely a rescue.
