All the K600-series tank-car trains I have seen have been ethanol trains.

Crude-oil trains are mostly in the K000 series, with ones I've heard of running the C&O in the K080 series.

This train may be headed to Hopewell, VA. There was supposed to be a new ethanol facility opening there sometime this spring. I don't have many details beyond that.

It did not originate on CSX at Chicago. Although there was a K608-21 out of Chicago earlier today that continued to Willard.
