Anyone know what it is and what it's carrying?

Looks like a bathtub car to me  :facepalm:

Nice shot, saved it for reference...

Like we discovered on the thread Jason linked to its a car in the OTDX 2001-2050 series, carrying carbon black in those rubberized containers. Plastic pellets were another commodity hauled in this style of car/container.
