What's a special commodity tank car? I just saw it thru Holland and I think yesterday's Q326-25 had that type car, too, that has no turret. Any idea what those carry?

Looks like refrigerated ethylene.

I did a rewind on the Bangor cam & that car didn't have any side placards but the rear had a flammable placard what looked to be code 1038 & looked that up: flammable gas (ethylene, refrigerated liquid)

Thanks for your help

Ethylene oxide. We used to get it for some greenhouses over in the West Olive area. I believe they parked them at the runaround out on the main south of the Consumers Energy switch..in greater downtown West Olive. But that was more than a few years ago. It's used as a ripening agent...for one application.

L302-25 also had 8199 trailing behind 391+5413, but seeing it did not interfer with the axel count, this unit probably got set off in Lansing.

Yes, the axle math had worked for 2 engines. The math for 3 engines would have had a .5 added to the car count if he had had 3 six axle type engines.
