Mike, I have a photo of a Penn Salt chlorine tanker flat like that in a 1953 Car Builder's Cyclopedia.
CAPY is 80,000
LT WT is 33,800
AAR Class TMU,
Builder: ACF.
The car's reporting mark is PSMX 1016, oddly on the extreme right side sheet.
A long sign is attached to the middle of the car reading in Gothic type caps:
PENNSYLVANIA SALT MFG.CO.
followed by in smaller letters on two lines:
CHLORINE GAS
TANK CAR
No note as to color but I'd suppose it's a black car with white lettering and stainless steel chlorine cannister tanks.
I could scan this and send it to you if you like.
Let me know directly by e-mail since I'm unable to directly post photos here.
Ed Bommer
