Looks like BNSF 808076 is an Airslide covered hopper that has been assigned to "buffer service" for tank trains. Here's another photo of it: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPic...id=3488484 On the ethanol trains that pass through my area, it's not uncommon to see covered hoppers, even rotary dump gons used as buffers.
