That tank car has interesting proportions.
CSX GP38-3's are used in local service around louisville.
Thanks for the photo posting.

I couldn't help but notice how heavy the load is in the UTLX Tank Car.
Look how compressed the springs are!

Sodium hydroxide is used at water treatment plants, among other uses, so this car may be going to some
local water company.

Not suprisingly , you can order the stuff at Amazon dot com....

Also known as caustic soda, or, more commonly, lye.
