Overview:

Designed to handle the shipment of mixed commodities, the 20,000 gallon 4 compartment tank car proved to be a useful design for many industries where it was not efficient to receive large shipments of a single commodity. These cars frequently carried lubricants, solvents as well as other specialty chemicals. The construction of the car is treated as 4 individual tank bodies to ensure adequate isolation between compartments.
