This
39’ single dome tank car is painted black with red, white and
blue logo and white lettering. It was built in November 1910,
serviced in February 1928, and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Established
in 1870, Standard Oil operated as a major
company trust and was one of the world’s first and largest multinational
corporations until it was broken up by the United States Supreme
Court in 1911. Two of these companies were Jersey Standard (Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey), which
eventually became Exxon, and Socony (Standard Oil Company of
New York), which eventually became Mobil. Other Standard Oil
breakup companies include Standard Oil of Ohio which became
SOHIO, Standard Oil of Indiana which became Amoco.
After other mergers and a name change in the 1980s, Standard
Oil of California became the Chevron Corporation.
