Was this used for spraying weeds along the right of way?

I was going to ask, what group of tank cars, and what products, had this sort-of exterior scaffolding built around the tank? An interesting modeling opportunity for sure!

It is my understanding the tank cars were used in company fuel service. The western part of the system used oil as a steam engine fuel.
It might have made been used in spraying, but I suspect the company that made the spray used regular tank cars and the product stayed in that car until it was sprayed out. Ron Christensen

Ray,
Among others, the AC&F Type 7 (1907 design) and very early Type 11 (1911) cars were built as high walkway cars.
