Charles Stookey General Interesting comment of it being a private car. No back haul for this car. 8/6/2013 1:04:37 AM
Bryan Smith General This car was probably used for only moving sodium sulphate and was probably leased by the shipper. Most chemical companies lease or own their own cars due to the specialized nature of their loads. Owning and leasing them also ensures a supply of cars and eliminates demurrage charges since private cars on a private track are not subject to railroad demurrage. 9/7/2014 8:41:18 AM
