Today nitrogen is pumped into LPG cars to force the contents out.? Once empty, the cars are then depressured for transport. ? Mike Del Vecchio

From: boyds1949 <E27ca@earthlink.net> To: STMFC@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:47 am Subject: [STMFC] Tank Car Unloading-LPG I was looking at a recent model railroad publication on building a propane dealership and it said that the liquid propane was unloaded by pumping air in the tank car to force the liquid propane out. Is that correct? I would think that forcing air in a propane tank car would be creating the perfect mix for a violent explosion. It would make sense to pump propane gas into the tank. Does anyone know what they really did? John King ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
