John, You could consider one of the following: Potash (potassium carbonate) or Soda ash (sodium carbonate) both of which are components for batch making for the production of glass.
Pumice is also shipped in covered hoppers and is used in the manufacturing of light weight veneer products in construction man made stone. Urea or phosphates both of which are fertilizers and shipped in covered hopper cars. Flyash a byproduct of combustion of coal typically produced at power generation plants and sometimes used in concrete manufacturing Some large steel mills will discharge their electric arc furnace (EAF) shop dust collectors directly in covered hoppers cars. These are then typically shipped to either a hazardous landfills or to a zinc recovery company. Zinc oxide - facilities that reclaim EAF dust and flash off the zinc oxide for recovery typically ship the ZO2 via rail to enrichment plants.
