LO, assuming you have a full sized print at your disposal, what does the text on the truck's door say?
samfp1943 Lithonia Operator I took this photo in Streator IL. What is most likely going on here? I assume the truck is taking something out of the covered hopper. But what? Fertilizer? Is it sucked out? https://500px.com/photo/1033875653/railroads2106-37-by-kudzutraveler MY suggestion: Ask, Shadow the Cat's Owner... Streator, IL is ,right up there in her 'neck of the woods'. I think she is/ or was, also in that dry,bulk tanker, and liquid transport kind of business (?) If my old 'Dispatcher's' memory serves me....

Shadow's Owner, if you know what's going on in the photo, I'd love to hear what you can share with us.
Still in training.
Something like this happens regularly in Erie, PA on the section of the Buffalo & Pittsburgh that parallels the east end of the Bayfront Connector in Erie. String of covered hoppers parked with a gravel apron; trucks come and go as they please with relatively easy access to any given car.
I assumed the transloading was done assisted by compressed air.
