oil tar and creosote product...

any commodity that will re....

it unfit for four or grain loa..."


Not sure how the first three lines might end, but the last two probably end with "render" and "loading".

Yes, it does!! And that's why I noted the stencil - it says not to
load anything that would CONTAMINATE the car! And yet here they are,
loading it with bags of carbon black!

(go to the photo reference page to see the description)

But could that be reasonably interpreted as not loading with loose bulk product, but that it is OK for bagged product?

​Barry,


That is EXACTLY the correct interpretation.  Bagged carbon black would be allowed, but not bulk carbon black.  Presumably, small spills from broken bags would be easier to clean than a completely contaminated car.
