Smallest tank |
| Description: |
This is the smallest tank car I have ever seen. Was not close enough to see capacity, but has to be under 10000 gallons. Look at it in comparison to the car its coupled to. |

Pay attention!!! |
| Description: |
This tank car of cyanic acid was being switched at the East Binghamton CP yard-very carefully. This stuff can kill you. In reality, it was an empty, which went back in general freight-but there's probably still enough residue in the car to kill you. The loaded cars came in on a special move. |

Its interesting to see the promotional wording, such as it is, on freight cars. Billboard cars are for the most part long gone, but some owners still get a short word in, such as on this Transportation Equipment, Inc, tank going south on the ex MKT. |

Plain vanilla |
| Description: |
There are a lot of tank cars in lease fleets. About as basic as you get is General American Tank, such as here on CSX. Some of the commodities are interesting. There are a lot of products that are ingredients in finished products, or used to process the materials. Pay attention to those placards!! This one shows corrosive. Don't want to get that stuff on you. |

The initials on this car might lead one to think its full of yogurt, but it's TCBX, not TCBY, so actually it belongs to AIG Rail Services-not very tasty!! The train appears to be loaded with ethanol, so not likely to be very tasty. Southbound on the ex MP. |

Ethanol empty |
| Description: |
This car, belonging to American Railcar Leasing, was northbound on the UP, taking the connection from the MKT to the MP as it headed back north for more alcohol. Note the car is placarded. Not sure what the placarding rules are for railroads; it seems odd that an empty car would need one, though at one time, there was a placard for "residue" when a car was empty. |

Back in the day, it was not unusual for rolling stock to bear the name of its owner, and there was a wide variety of designs. Nowadays, its a rare occasion to find a car with a company name prominently displayed. This Bunge tank was in the dodger at Siloam Springs as it worked the Pipelife plant there. |

Venting |
| Description: |
This car of argon was in the northbound H train, some of the gas venting-note the small plume of steam at the top center of the car-due to the almost 90 degree temperatures and high humidity. The BOCX reporting marks are for Linde Corp, formerly BOC Gases. |
