And on closer examination, UTLX 5274's current placard is pasted onto the tank on not on a placard board, as I had thought.

Don,

As Tony has noted... the number and side of dome platforms was an "option" and the purchasers ordered what they want.

But actually, I want to back out here a bit, because I frankly thought that the convention was left side or both. Pondering your assertion of right side only, I've gone looking and I have yet to actually find a photo of a post 1917 car that shows a right side only dome platform. So if you have any of those, please share them with us! Note, that could be a left sided shot without a platform on a car type know to have a platform(s)

Now, if you want weird, in my photos I have a picture of CRTX 8, a two compartment car, with a Standard tank car frame, obviously converted from a single dome car, with the single dome removed and patched and two end dome. The view is of the right side of the car and the dome closest to the B-end has a platform. The dome near the A-end does not. Now, this in no way addresses your question because these platforms were added when the car was rebuilt, but I have to wonder if one or both domes have platforms on the other side?!!

Regards,

Bruce

    Once again, the buyer specified how they wanted this arranged. The same is true for dome-surrounding walkways. Whether there was one, or just the plank alongside the dome, was entirely a buyer choice.

     I assume the single walkway intention was that an employee had to move to the side of the car with ladder and walkway in order to work around the dome. If that meant crossing to the "other side" relative to where the employee started, well, labor was cheap. Why pay for two?
