Those look like Shell storage cars for the cracker plant in Monaca, PA. SPMX marks.

Interesting. Do you think they were full and heading to an industry in the Ashland industrial park?

If you magnify the images, the cars' truck springs do not look compressed, so I'd take a guess that they were empty.
