They dropped this tank car off in Britton near the grain elevator. I couldn't tell what was in it, as I wasn't able to get close enough to see any of the writing, but you CAN make out "PLMX" on the side.
A big thanks for anyone who can answer this.
Anyone know what's in this tank car?

Got this series of pics yesterday down near Milan and Britton.

Tanker Car + Elevator = Liquid Fertilizer most of the time. Another possiblility is fuel oil because there's still a few elevators in MI that get it in by rail. If it's something else I'm abut to learn something new.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Somehow I think that anyone who really wants to blow up trains of chemicals, and has the resources to get bombs and fake IDs, doesn't need the help of a railfan website to figure out where trains that carry said chemicals are, especially since said chemicals are stenciled on the side of cars in said trains.
I also highly doubt certain terrorists used airplane-fan sites to figure out what planes flew close to certain buildings.
If you believe that, then I've got pictures of a bridge I'd like to sell to you (which you could use to figure out how to blow it up with your cellphones).

Whoa, this thread has taken an odd turn.
I was simply curious so I could put an explanation to my picture when I submit it to railpics. Something simple like, "NS blah blah blah delivers blah blah blah to blah blah blah on a warm spring afternoon blah blah blah."
Sorry if my original question has stirred the wrong pot here. Doktor No, I respect your opinion and will discontinue my curiosity of what's in the tank.

Re: Thank You JT
I've seen some of them lately wandering around the yard, crossing the tracks, etc. That DOES take some guts. I was sitting in back of the Mobil station the other day and saw some people wandering around just on the other side of the tracks and then going into the woods. A day or two later, while parked at Judd, I see two guys and a girl cross the tracks down near Plaster Creek and walk in the direction of the engine house. A little bit later, one of them comes walking back. They didn't go TO the engine house, so I know they probably weren't employees. It's just odd that people casually stroll across the tracks in the yard like the own the place.Doktor No wrote:thats why I make a point to remove "Railfans" from the property when they trespass. I don't know who they are and what their intentions are. I usually stop them and ask why they are on the property and instruct them to leave.
Lately there have been some rather brazen acts at Wyoming by RAILFANS who think they can wander around the yard in their vehicles and walk around the place. Who knows who they are for sure? They have cameras in hand...seem to be regular folks but again who knows?
