Tim, I recognize them--they're the same trucks that were under PRR's experimental war emergency box car--their 50-foot single-sheathed car. If I had RP Cyc handy I could tell you exactly what kind

If you read my posts, it was obvious that I had thought Capeline made that truck, and then said they did not. The link was for those who might have wanted to look at what they DO make. Thanks! Brian

So Brian , what does that link tell us about the trucks on the N&W car? I did not see a truck that looked like this car, nor did I find a Simplex truck that would tell me it's NOT simplex.Or did I

Steve I have never seen a photo of a car smaller than 11k carrying anhydrous ammonia. Same with LPG. Chlorine is much heavier. It's also much more dangerous! Tim O'Connor

correct -- ammonia and LPG appear to use the same types of cars. I havemany photos of 100 ton, 33,000 gallon ammonia tank cars (as well as LPG ofcourse)
