I know, dead thread...here is the answer to my question to the place that had the folder of photos. In answer to your inquiry about copies of the photos of tank cars in the YS&T Audiovisual

Actually it's in the Santa Fe reefer book published by the Santa Fe Railway Historical & Modeling Society (and is available on their website). That car was an Rr-22, but it does illustrate that the
