The Barrett tank shown has five courses, and those look like AC&F tank mounts (if I have my spotting features right) ... *and* a Dixie Line rebuild? Wow, wish I could go.

Hmm. I was always told that the "Hob-E-Lube" 7-pak workbench assortment (HL650) was better. For any lubing.

Re: Cotton Seed Oil Tank Cars
al_brown03
IIRC there was an article in one of the journals on cottonseed oil and tank cars for it, within the past 5-10 years. This was a significant industry in east Texas back when. Now to remember where the article is ... the recently discontinued mrmag database was good for this kind of search.

SP made available some of its tank cars for this purpose; doubtless lots of leased cars were so employed also (GATX, SHPX, NATX, etc.), though in the steam era UTLX not so likely. You could certainly use plain black cars with those marks, with 8000-gallon cars probably the likely size. If you know of cottonseed oil companies, you could research to see if they had their own cars (I don't know of any, but haven't looked). If they leased cars and painted their logo on them, you would need photos to find out.

Re: Cotton Seed Oil Tank Cars
earlyrail
Quick answer in - none.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
A compress was just a warehouse that received cotton bales from the cotton gins and compressed them to make more fit into ships for shipping. These were more or less centralized on the route from the production areas to the using/overseas shipping areas. Cotton seed oil was processed closer the the gins. Back 80 years ago many of the larger gins have a oil mill located near by. Today the oil mill business is more centralized and the cotton seed is sent to the mill. One modern mill warehouses cotton seed in Mississippi and does its processing in Texas. Check some Sanborn (or other) fire insurance maps for your time frame. Howard Garner

Cotton Seed Oil Tank Cars
Charles Etheredge
Guys,
What kind of tank cars would have been used to transport cotton seed oil from the local cotton compress during the steam era? I am currently modeling cotton compresses in two different Texas towns and need some type of cars to haul the oil to the soap manufacturers, potato chip manufacturers, and whereever else the oil would be used. I assume they would be leased tank cars with perhaps the companies' name stenciled on the side. Secondly, are there any models that would fit or could be kitbashed to be close to prototypical? Thanks in advance for any information. Charles Etheredge Austin, Texas

Did the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad/ Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad have its own refrigerator cars or did it have an operating agreement with the Pacific Fruit Express Company?Since the SP,LA&SL was owned 50 percent by UP, it is natural that PFE supplied refrigerator cars--once PFE came into existence in December, 1906. The SP,LA&SL was completed early in 1905, and from then until Harriman started buying reefers (ordered in late 1905) I would assume the existing Armour car contract in force on UP likewise would have been in force on the SP,LA&SL, but only for probably a year to a year and a half. Eventually, of course, UP obtained Senator Clark's 50 percent also, and the line became a pure UP property.
