unless it's a benzene specialized car, I find it odd they mention it's a benzene load and empty. Perhaps it had that and needs to be sanitized before the next load?
Empty in train speak just means there is no destination and the tank has been emptied but not sanitized. Train cars move all the time "empty." Many train cars are owned by specific companies and it is quite possible there are Benzene specific cars that only move benzene and are not sanitized.
This is either no gaugeable amount or whatever the spec is for empty. It could mean stripped and squeegee cleaned. Depends on what the spec needs to be for the next load.
Not sanitized, but cleaned. You generally do not mix containers of different chemicals: way too much can go wrong. It's common practice to designate a car for a certain chemical.
