I'm puzzled by the trucks. They're obviously not limited by space, so it must be by weight. If they had chosen trucks with a third back axle, they could carry more weight, which means more of these tube thingies per trip, and save costs. yet they didn't.
Is this a red herring?

Whoah, are those big suckers on the truck blanks that get cut down on a lathe or something?

This is kinda wild. A few days ago I was sitting, waiting for a freight train to go by, and I thought "Those three bolts on the ends of the axles would make a good What Is It? picture."
