ECMX 502 8k Gal. AC&F Type 11ECMXX, actually. The photographer misidentified the reporting marks as ECNXX. Is the 5-letter reporting mark a Mexican thing? First time I've noticed it. Thanks for the IDs, and to Tim for finding these. FWIW, to see the image full size, go to one of the links Tim provided, click on "See Original Listing" just below he title of auction, then scroll down a bit to reveal the original listing. Double-click on that image and, presto! Arved Grass Fleming Island, Florida |

Yes, you can ALWAYS see completed listings for 15 days after it closes. Just open the original listing, and click on the image to enlarge it to full size. These are large, hi resolution images.

Tim Well, for some reason I had no trouble enlarging the images, and the tank cars were as follows: |

Richard, are you sure about the TRSX (not TRNX)? Although the
car has 4-courses like the Tk-M, the builder photos make it look much longer. I would have guessed the car in the photo is a 10k or at most a 12k tank car. Tim O'Connor TRNX 12001 16K gal. Santa Fe Tk-M built by GATC in 1942 Richard Hendrickson http://www.ebay.com/itm/121060850109 |

The angle from which it's viewed is deceptive, Tim. It's certainly a larger car than 10K or 12K. Some details don't match the Tk-M class as built (e.g. single tank bands), but given the extreme age of the car when photographed, that's hardly conclusive. GATC built similar large (for that era) tank cars as diesel fuel cars for a number of RRs in the '40s, and it could be one of those, Richard Hendrickson |

The car in the slide is also missing the rivets for the internal baffles and has fewer handrail stanchions than a Tk-M. It is also riding on Buckeye C-R trucks that appear to be 50-ton capacity. But to be honest, I don't have an image of the 70-ton version to compare.
