This
39’ single dome tank car is black with orange lettering and runs
on Bettendorf trucks. Built in the 1920s for a leasing company,
this 10,000-gallon tank car was later obtained and used by Maine
Central in MOW service through the 1970s and belonged to a 13-car
series. Maine Central was founded in 1862 and was one of the largest
railroads in New England, with over 1,000 miles of track by the
1970s. |
