That is interesting Man o' War. Solid Tank Car Trains are usually either Oil Trains or Ethanol Trains. They usually have one covered hopper on each end, unless this train was just a bunch of regular tank cars. Did you happen to get a car count? I see these types of trains all the time on the Virtual Railfan Webcam in Elkhart.

It will be interesting to see if this was just a fluke or maybe something more to come.

All chemical tanks (mostly empties) for Sarnia and points east. The regular A482 and M383 are always extremely heavy with tank car traffic. Just busy enough at the moment to warrant an extra train I'd imagine.
