The 1936 Tank Car Tariff has a DUPX series 1400-1409, approximately 10,000 gallons capacity with a 454 gallon dome. There are no cars of like dimensions in 1955, so it is likely DuPont sold or transfe

Here's a picture of Lot 84: https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/22771265042 and Lot 419: https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/24462568034 David Thompson

I looked through the AC&F lot list, and these were the orders specifically labeled as Type 25, 25A, or 26. Type 25 lot 9892 5 AC&F Co. 10/21/24 10000g lot 10008 15 Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey 3/21/

The diameter and length of the tank for its nominal capacity, and the tank saddle construction are characteristic of mid-20s AC&F practice. The lack of side sills makes it a 25 or 26. The photo in que

From what I can tell, the Type 25 had a trapezoidal end sill casting somewhat reminiscent of the old Type 11/17 end sill shape. The Type 26 went without any end sill at all. David Thompson

Not GATC, but an example of the uncommon AC&F Type 26 (the car to the right may be another one). David Thompson

Here's a look at the first Schoen-designed car for PB&LE: https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=Cs81AQAAMAAJ&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA584 And the various trucks under that initial order: https://play.google.c

Ahh, there's a find. The hoppers are the two Carnegie prototypes for the early PB&LE fleet built by (Schoen) Pressed Steel Car. The flats and coke car are otherwise fairly obscure, so it's nice to hav

Ahh, this is right up my alley. Notes and comments follow: The initial contract to Schoen Pressed Steel was for 200 cars to Schoen's design (5501-5700) and 400 cars to Carnegie's design (5701-6100), w

This one is notable for having the Mount Vernon builder's logo with the "Mf'g Div. :: Pressed Steel Car Company Inc." modification. David Thompson

Close, number is 51751, N&W class BS. This was a 10' inside height car with Climax radial roof. David Thompson

The single-sheathed NKP box in the fourth pic is particularly curious: ex-Clover Leaf with retrofitted Dreadnaught ends??? I had no idea any such thing existed. David Thompson

So, aside from the underframe, how is this different from the Red Caboose car? David Thompson

That was something GATC liked to do if someone specified platforms on both sides of the tank. Those 12k tanks they built for Gulf had this arrangement. David Thompson

These were an extrapolation of the original 1902 Seley-design box car on N&W. David Thompson

Series 21200-21299 were derivatives of the ACF 1958 cf covered hopper, built by Ralston in March 1949. See RPC #30, p.90. David Thompson

N&W 90-ton battleship gon, class GK, GKa, or GL. The Buckeye truck was not original, so this is likely a test application. David Thompson

The stencil had me scratching my head, too, but I think it is for Buckeye since Bethlehem didn't merge Cambria/Midvale until 1922. That one is a Hocking Valley car: https://digital-collections.columbu

I would guess it is a in-plant car purchased secondhand from some dealer. The car doesn't have a pressed or fabricated end sill reinforcement, so it is likely from the 1903-early '04 production groups

Car is the early Standard Steel Car channel-side design without a separate end sill. David Thompson
