How about bailed plastic, cardboard or paper from a shredding co. going to a recycling plant. I've seen several box cars loaded with the stuff. One may ask how I knew what they were loaded with? Easy, they were packed so full the door couldn't be shut all the way. A few times we have seen one set out away from anything with smoke rolling out the doors. The fire dpt. can't put the smoldering "fire" all the way out so they just leave some hoses spraying on the outside of the car to try to keep the car usable again.
