Wilmington & Western tank [was Republic tank cars]
That's not the same car that Ambroid put out in its One of 5000. A more closer car was put out by I believe Red Ball or Dale Newton and was labeled as a Monsanto Acid Tank. Again not sure but remember

NKP was part of the Van Swearigen group when the cars were built and the standard paint scheme for the cars were black ends and roof, just like the C&O. Yes the Viking roof is correct as well. Larry S

The SACX reporting marks were on the cars when they arrived on the ET from the Georgia Locomotive and Car. They were changed to ETX and renumbered. Here is a photo of the cars in service on the ET.
