Aha! A Google search for “Dryflow tank car” returned this hit. Scroll down about 2/3 page for photos of a Dryflow tank car.

Subject: [STMFC] M&StL LT 70001 GATC "Dri-Flow" tank car





In November 1936 the M&StL leased one GATC "Dri-Flow" tank car which was marked M&StL 70001. It came onto the M&StL as GATX 34000 and was remarked by M&StL. We have found this car listed in 1937, 1938, and 1939 ORERs. Would anyone with a 1940 or 1941 ORER please look for M&StL LT 70001 and if found, let us know which month and year. A copy of page is not needed. We are just trying to determine when the lease ended. We checked January 1942 ORER and it was not listed.



We assume from the length of the lease that the car was successful.
