The only one I remember seeing was a 3 dome tank car on the NYC Putnam Division in suburban New York in about 1965. There was a small chemical plant on the line.
The reason for the compartmented wine cars…most table wines are blends of several types of wine. The cars transported wine from California to the bottling plants in Chicago and NYC where the various types of wine were blended and bottled. It changed in the mid 50s when Gallo began shipping its bottled wine across the country in then-new insulated and DF equipped boxcars.
