This ACF 3 Dome Tank is white with a black belly and black lettering.
Built in March 1937 by American Car & Foundry, this tank car’s
dome stenciling indicates it carries white oil and is equipped
with heaters. It runs on black Bettendorf trucks. Union Tank Car

response to the economic activities of Standard Oil, the company
has a long history. Today Union Tank Car Company is owned by Marmon
