What is this car for?
Author: GCCIteacher

I came accross  4 of these cars coupled together west of  Chadron, Nebraska. I have never seen one of these before. What is it designed to carry?

There's a photo of this car loaded on rrpa.net:

ICCX is International Catalyst Corp. - my guess is that those vessels on the car contain chemicals; the loaded car appears to be placarded.

One caption of that car loaded on the rrpix website indicates DOT 3190 -- Self-Heating Solids - Salt Acids.
