DUPX 80019 DuPont tank car. According to Lee Shell, this Dupont  tank car hauling is Titanium Dioxide. This product is used to make white things whiter. From Wikipedia: "It is widely used to provide whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, plastics, papers, inks, foods, and toothpastes. It is also used in cosmetic and skin care products, and it is present in almost every sunblock, where it helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light." Mr. Shell is in the printing business, so I know it as the agent that makes the paper on which magazine pages are printed brighter white than they would be otherwise." Interesting.
