Shorter tank cars for vegetable oil

[jjdamnit]

Hello All,

These little cars would have been used more for heavier things like corn syrup. Vegetable oil is comparatively light and uses similar general-service cars that are used for gasoline, diesel, oils, etc.

These cars were used to serve customers in the food industry who didn’t have the capacity to handle or need the larger capacity cars, as well as customers in the chemical trade.

As has always been said, “There is a prototype for everything.”

Thank you.

Hope this helps.
