Where would a
Tidewater LPG car have been used? Tidewater was an east
coast company, yes?

Did LPG travel very long distances? I had the impression
that LPG was a by-product of refining

that was mostly "flared off" until a market
developed for it -- So it would be available

from any petroleum refinery in the STMFC era right?

     Tidewater Associated had east
coast facilities (reporting marks TWOX), Oklahoma facilities
(mark TIDX) and West Coast facilities (mark AOX, for the
Associated part of the name). All indications I have seen
are that the fleet was freely mixed, but each facility
naturally rostered cars of most use to its
needs.    Having found incomplete and/or
inaccurate histories of the Tidewater Associated company in
print and on the web, I set about to research it, and have
posted a summary on my blog (link below, if you're
interested; that post also contains a link to an even longer
history I wrote). I also corrected the Wikipedia and other
web sources, so today the web sources are mostly better.
