Reply to "Flat Car with Chlorine Tanks"

No note as to color but I'd suppose it's a black car with white lettering and stainless steel chlorine cannister tanks.


Those are standard chlorine ton containers. They are carbon steel and usually painted silver. Pioneer Chemical liked to paint theirs blue with yellow bonnets.

Putting fifteen tons on a flat car is not very efficient which is why there never were too many of these cars. 50 to 90 tons can be carried by a conventional tank car and a truck can haul 12 loaded ton containers and stay under 80,000 lbs gross weight.
