Notice this tank car sits on a USRA designed underframe.  Could that tank also match USRA drawings?

Here's the link needed to see the tank car photo:

I thought I'd already posted that... In any case, the tank is not a 4-course
(horizontal courses) like the USRA design.

The USRA tank design allowed for either construction.  USRA drawings were published in the 1919 Car Builders' Dictionary and Cyclopedia and reprinted in Train Shed Cyclopedia No. 9.

I posted the photo link again because my first post lost the link to Tim's post.

It’s a Petroleum Iron Works car. There weren’t many. I’m getting on a plane, but can post additional commentary tomorrow when i’m back home.
