AMAZING! I can't see the pump to move gas fro car to can. Siphoning?!

Google is our friend. It took a couple of steps, but that's an LOC FSA pic from WWII that you can find here:
https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/fsa/item/2017871450/ The 19 Mb TIFF version has a LOT more detail! I defer to Steve Hile, but UTLX 19656 seems to be a bit of an oddball. Steve's 1938 roster indicates these were early 6500-gal X-3 cars, that received new 8000-gal tanks ca. 1930. Note the tank has four longitudinal courses, which none of the "conventional" X-3s had. This might explain the rather curious 1918 build date. The two cars in front of 19656 both look like UTLX Class X (or XX) cars, 6500 gallons. Great photo that I had not seen before; thanks for posting Bob. -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows, CA

We did use this photo, and one from Richard Hendrickson on the next page (81-82.) Basically, the three course 6500 gallon tank was replaced by a four course 8000 gallon tank on the same underframe. I am not sure how much of the original tank was reused in the process.
Thanks for the plug.

Well, Steve, obviously my copy of the book is not as well-thumbed as it should be. But I am glad to now have the TIFF from the LOC, as it always gladdens my heart to see the Class X and V cars in service. ;-)

Well, at least nobody’s smoking that I can see. The baggage car is UP maybe and suggests a branch line location.
