What are these cars for?

On my recent travels I came across these cars that have a pretty interesting story, but instead of just spilling it, I'd see if anyone knows already.



Clues to follow if necessary.

Contaminated soil containers? Maybe even radioactive? I'm recalling very similar cars from several years ago that got the NIMBYs' knickers all in a wad.

I figured someone would have seen these before.

It's Uranium Tailings from the Moab area that go up to Cresent Junction for (IIRC) the Department of Energy to dump in these big ditches.

Look like trash containers. I thought Atlas did them? That is why I took this pics a while back:
