In a separate investigation, the FBI's Philadelphia field office is probing the discovery of an infrared sensor that was carefully concealed along the track bed of a Pennsylvania Southeast Transit Authority line.

The device — a commercially available wireless infrared transmitter made for home security use — was discovered, spraypainted black and tucked neatly into the trackside ballast, by a conductor. Such devices transmit a signal when something cuts across their infrared beam


Was it wired to anything???

I don't know. But it makes me highly suspicious about the rocket launcher found near the tracks in Atlanta. May be more to that story as well.
