Great tank cars. A car with same end sills survives at Steamtown. When I photographed it about 15 years ago it was unrestored, but Steamtown sources say it belonged to Barber Asphalt. Yours Aye, Garth Groff

The Union Oil tanks look almost like UTL Type Xs, with the obvious exceptions of the headblocks and center yoke around the dome. The tank bolsters are also different, though a similar design.

Morning Y'all,
This is my first official post here on the board. Glad to be aboard. I have a huge library of period photos from the 1880-1915 period. Tank cars are my favorite! I have close to 5 dozen photos of old time tank cars. Many are from the 1890-1910 period. When I have a moment, I'll post up a few. Thanks, Levi

treat!

Hi Levi,
Welcome aboard!
I will be looking forward to seeing your photographs. I’m
particularly interested in early freight (and passenger) cars, especially those
that could have shown up on Long Island and elsewhere in the northeast, but I
anxiously await whatever you have to share.
Pax,
Ralph

Thanks everyone!
I posted up some of the early tank cars in an album. I'm also posting up my ACF Type 7 Hi Walk Collection. I do also have a bunch of ACF Type X pictures if anyone is interested. Thanks, Levi. Also, I have decals I had made up for some of those, including: The Texas Company, Peerless Tank Line 1804 (Single Dome Series), Morrell Tank Line, Rocky Mountain Oil & Fuel, and The Florence Pipe & Tool Company. All HO Scale.
