Well, if you could blow up the picture with enough resolution to read the car number on that truck, the answer would be revealed.   ;)

Speaking of tankcars, I think I see shelf couplers.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Great guess, John, but I'm not sure that the truck centers are long enough on the coil car, when compared to the mystery picture.

I'm thinking it's another tank car of some type, because it looks to have type E Double shelves couplers.....

Coil car is a very good guess, although the relatively recent appearance of the Atlas model casts some doubt.

I would love the Conrail "Coilshield". The model that Exactrail just released in HO. Or Exactrail could release it in N.
