Interesting cars on the left

Bulkhead flats with tanks loaded on them, or a form of tank car?
Snipped out of an ebay listing, still open for bidding if anyone is interested.

The flat car next to the boxcar does not appear to have bulkheads.

I think each tank car has a compartment of some sort on the end that contains valves, hoses, gauges, or whatever control equipment for the fluid or gas that is contained in those tanks. Charlie

Or could it be the cars are the same and each car only had the one bulkhead end? Not sure why only one end but otherwise the cars and tanks do appear Similar.

In addition to being a B&M photo to being a B&M photo it is from Dane Malcolm who will sell you a reprint in almost any size you could want. A very pleasant fellow to work with.
Cordially, Don Valentine

I was scrolling through the photos and saw this message string never got a solid reply. I'm pretty sure this is not Wilmington Jct., it is Lowell Jct....Liquid Carbonic (today Praxair-Linde) was/is just down the track at Shawsheen Street in Tewksbury on the Lowell Branch. I'm guessing these are early cryo tank cars with refrigeration in the end compartment. I've gone through their sidetrack agreement, I'm pretty sure it dates back at this far. Of course, Reichold Chemical was right there as well and the XM-1 is in the right spot to act as a buffer for that switch, but I'm sticking with my first answer.

I have seen similar pictures where the SAL took the tank from an old tank car, and mounted it on a bulkhead flat (and also a normal flat) and used them as a MOW car
