Spotted this interesting and slightly amusing combo near downtown Wells, MN while on our way home Sunday afternoon…

which brings up a couple of questions for any members in the area up there that might know-

Which railroad services Wells? Do they have a car repair facility there (there was another identical load just to the right of the shot shown)? Any derailments in the area recently?

Looks like a fairly new car.

Wells, MN is on the IC&E. That looks like a DDG covered hopper that would be leased to a Ethanol producer.

I dont think its for DDGS beings it is a 5161cu hopper, not the 4 bay which I forget the cu ft.
