What is the black piece beneath the buffer on the front of the 4512 freight

motor?  Or, is that a new buffer/magnet/scoop all-one-piece element?  The
buffers either side of the magnet look, to me, a little more "squarish".
But, maybe that is just a "trick" of glare or something in the picture?

Hmm...  Nice catch, James!  It sure looks like a snowplow you might find on
most 'North American' locomotives...  If that's what it turns out to be, I
consider that a good sign that Lego is starting to recognize the fact that
not all trains look like European models.  (Can we get the 8-wide version?
<grin>)

And for some reason the containers that all have the word "cargo" on them
make me laugh.  :-)
