This appears to be a rather small example of the type. There are two halves
to the car and the load is an integral 3rd piece in the middle.

Gentlemen,
 
    I got this attached photo at SX today and must say that I have never
seen quite a car.  It is a DODX 38881 four truck 8axle special custom car to
carry what my wife calls an "URO" ..unidentified railroad object.  Anybody
out there know what this might be? 
 
     Also got a couple of good shots of oldrusting power beside the Punkin
Vine at the Virginia Scrap Iron south of "JK" that you can see at:

Locomotive" marked in grafitti "Soul Train"
