There was a PRR train in 1952 and maybe other years (don't have the make-up of trains with me at work) that carried tomato paste/puree for Campbell soup in NJ. The cars were listed as block of their own. The cars were in the train when it left Chicago and were identified as tank cars probably because carrying foodstuff they did not need to be separated from the cabin or locomotives. Don't know the origin of the shipment. Rich Orr

Jared HarperJared, If you've had kids, you know that's not true... ketchup is the universal solvent... although I must hazard that it probably needs to be thinned itself to be airbrushed. Which brings me to a freight car question. I know that various food-grade oils (e.g. palm oil) and sugar solutions (e.g. molasses) were transported by tank car - how about fruit or vegetable purees? Or was that business small enough or local enough that bulk transport of product was not necessary? Certainly, there would be issues with acidity (tomatoes) or fermentation (one reason why it was argued here that bulk transport of grape juice was unlikely). Regards Bruce Bruce F.
