Re: GATX tank cars

Aley, Jeff A
Okay, now I’ve checked the ORER, and I see that all of these cars are class TMI (insulated). How do I figure out the capy? The ORER listing doesn’t show the gallonage, just the weight capy. Is there a relationship, or is the weight capy just the size of the journals (40-ton vs 50 ton) ?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Gang,
A UP freight conductor’s book shows the following GATX tank cars carrying phosphorous from Idaho to Kansas (and returning to Idaho filled with water). The year is 1955. How can I find out more info about these cars (so that they can be modeled)? The back of the ACF book shows that in the 1970’s phosphorous could be shipped in ICC-103 cars. Should I therefore assume that these are plain Type 21 or Type 27 cars? How would I find out the gallonage (I just now realize that I have not checked the ORER)?
Thanks for any help or pointers you can give.
Regards,
-Jeff
