AKZO/NOBEL, Filtrol, FCC Covered Hoppers

Englehard (now part of BASF) regularly shipped Filtrol and related petroleum catalyst products into and through New Orleans via NS; I seldom saw them on CSX. AKZO NOBEL cars often traveled with the Englehard and Filtrol cars. One NS train had these cars all traveling in a group.
