Shipping papers used during rail transportation of a hazardous material are?

Answer 1

.....are required by law to travel with the shipment of Hazardous Materials. In them are contained detailed information on class of Haz Mat, emergency handling, including how to contain any spill, how to fight any fire, medical treatment that may be required if exposed to the Haz Mat, evacuation procedures (such as evacuate down wind or up wind), possible interaction with other substances, as well as shipper and consignee information.

In the 'good old days', all cars did traveled with waybills, as stated above. This was one of the functions of the now departed caboose, to serve as an "office" for the conductor, to keep track of these and other uses, such as filling out delay reports, time and location of any set-out (cars left somewhere), pickups, etc.
