little different…
Anyone remember when these were common?
Just out of Houston Fuel and Oil, on the way to BNSF New South Yard.

Aren’t those the same ones/type that ran between units, or right behind?
(as fuel tenders)
But (although I have seen fuel tenders at Rochelle a time or two) most of the tank cars that come to Rochelle are plain black fuel-transporting tanks–quite a few have the new “swoosh” logo.
Are the fuel tenders used as such any more, providing fuel to locomotives on the road? Are they equipped for that any more? A lot of those pipes running the length of the car aren’t typical on ordinary tank cars.
I assume they are, the panel with the instructions on hooking them up is freshly painted, and the hoses at the end had fairly new fittings.
Ed,
I started to model these at one time,cant remember now why I didnt…I thot they had been returned to regular use after that experiment…
Thank for reminding us…
