These 8,000-gallon capacity insulated tank cars with Bettendorf
trucks were built for Shippers Car Line and was designed for vinyl
acetate service. They featured a new welded dome design, called
“Duradome,” replacing older riveted designs. Shippers Car Line
was acquired by American Car & Foundry in 1927, and leased
an enormous fleet of tank cars to a diverse assortment of industries,
from chemical plants to wine processors. |
