I stopped at a food proccessing plant. There was a group of workers unloading a hopper type rail car. It looked like the type used for hauling cement. They were unloading of all things, Salad Oil, from these hopper cars. They also get jelly and Pickle juice in the same way. They line the hopper with a big plastic bag and fill up the bag. When the car arrives at it's destination they open the bottom doors and use a knife to open the bag. The product flows into a funnel, then to storage vats. <br /> I do not work for the railroad so this struck me as being a odd cargo being hauled by a odd method. Has anyone seen cargo odder then this being hauled? Or odder cars being used to haul different types of cargo? <br /> TIM A
