@Alok: The load was Sand. The 10th and 11th Wagons were not filled as they were badly damaged.

Oops: sorry. Appu is right. It must be Limestone.

@ Apurva "the mineral in the BOXN may be limestone whose low density allows the wagon to be filled up to the brim." It can also be gypsum or rock phosphate, both of them have low density :-). The latter can appear grey, yellow or brown.
