Overview:

Designed to haul a wide variety of liquid loads, tank cars have been a crucial element of freight railroading since the pioneer era, hauling water, oil, and other commodities that were invaluable for shaping the nation. The tank cars featured in this release represent some of the last single-dome examples built with a riveted tank design, which were delivered between the late 1920s and early 1940s. Found across North America, our model represents cars in their heyday, when they served a wide selection of private owners with eclectic names and colorful paint schemes.
