Description:  This car has no pressure dome. The car number is also painted on the frame. I apologize that I couldn't do better on the re-touching. Here's hoping someone receives information or a benefit or whatever. This is just an unusual tank car; oddly enough, there were at least three of this style in this train.

Description:  Taken on a very cloudy November afternoon in Davenport, IA. I don't know what this car was carrying but it may have been refrigerated ethylene liquid.
