From the ORER: Quantify of stock cars was given during this blackout period as: 34 cars from January 1927 through July 1936; 40 cars from July 1937 to April 1938; 45 cars from July 1938 through Januar

I don't have any particular information on this car, but based upon the visible stencilled built date of 11/15 on the flat car itself, the most likely source was a CN 651264-651459 series flat car, or

Thanks for finding this photo Bob, it seems to be one I haven’t seen from Library and Archives Canada. IOX 7044 was actually built by AC&F in the fall of 1920, and reweighed in 3/1937. Following acqus

From a 1924 ORER, the Georgia & Florida Railway (G&F) shows 28 cars in the 2403-2499 series (shown as 36’6” 30-ton flat cars). Ian Cranstone Osgoode, Ontario, Canada lamontc@... http://freightc

I had a few thoughts vis-a-vis tracking the GATX fleet based on my experiences in working through understanding the Imperial Oil/Transit Company Ltd. to Products Tank Line of Canada fleet, and the Can

Interesting fun fact about those UTLX cars – they're actually cars belonging to UTLX's Canadian subsidiary Products Tank Line of Canada, being former Canadian Industries Limited cars built by Canadian

Four poultry cars were listed by Canadian roads in 1924, apparently all converted from other cars circa 1923: CN 149900-149901 CP 259000-259001 CP would add four more cars in the mid-1930s (CP 259100-

Cars of this type usually were in chlorine service, each canister held 1 ton. Ian Cranstone Osgoode, Ontario, Canada lamontc@...

Fred, the attached entry from the 1955 Tank Car Capacities tariff clearly shows 215 cars in the WP listing. Ian CranstoneOsgoode, Ontario, Canada lamontc@... http://freightcars.nakina.net

Tony is quite correct in noting that "overlooks" was probably a poor choice of words on my part... Railroads reported what they were required to report to the two tariffs, and in some cases chose to r

The list gives one an idea as to just how large the lease fleets (UTLX, GATX, SHPX, NATX, and for Canada, CGTX and TCLX). The ORER has always been a little shaky in tank car information, and frequentl

That first CN car was built as Canadian Northern 83726 by Canadian Car & Foundry in January 1919 — technically, as CN had been formed the month before, it was actually delivered as a CN car (albeit wi

Sure was… specifically from CN 508017 in 1967 — this car was originally built by Canadian Car & Foundry in April 1930, and was an example of a CNR 1929 standard boxcar. As built, these were relatively

I haven’t looked at the photo of the car in question, but I would expect the P2K car to only be a stand-in. These cars were built by National Steel Car in 1958 – I suspect the Rapido car is much close

CN had a tightly-controlled standard pallette of colours, and in this case the standard colour was Red #11, which was a reddish version of brown. As the colour aged, the reddish tone faded and the car

When built, these special cars were seen as replacements for the old-style automobile cars, which were much more cumbersome to load and unload. CN had 25 75 foot cars built in late 1956 (CN 570400-570

Scott, here’s a photo of a car from this group taken in 1965, which hopefully will answer your question. Aside from the paint scheme, it doesn’t look like this car has changed much over the yeras. Ian

As Steve Hile has already noted, these were former Canadian Industries Limited cars (reporting mark CILX), which were absorbed into the fleet of UTLX's Canadian subsidiary Products Tank Line of Canada

I'm not at home, so can't check my ORERs to be sure, but try looking under "Warren Petroleum Corp." These cars weren't transferred to the Gulf Oil Co. listing until 1970. Ian Cranstone Osgoode, Ontari
