PASSING TRAINS PT6; PN70 PT5

The conclusion to PN70...

The first molten sulfur tank car is CGTX  13909.

 Sister car CGTX 13920 has a slightly different font on the reporting marks; this car was a second-hand acquisition, and the old reporting marks have been patched over and re-stenciled for its new owner. CGTX is the Canadian arm of GATX, the former General American Tank Car Co., now General American Marks Co.

 SUJX (Sulcom, Inc.) 299036 is one of the solid black cars.

 And so is FHRX (Flint Hill Resources) 136015.

NDYX (First Union Rail) 113506 is a dark grey car with a black band. It is another car that has been re-stenciled for a new owner.

 TILX (Trinity Leasing) 135344 is another black car with a yellow band.

 TILX 135007 is a solid yellow car. So far, I have not seen any evidence that the different color combinations have any real significance, but do note that ALL molten sulfur cars have an orange rectangle with "2448" haz-mat code denoting the cargo on both sides and ends. Since a car carrying molten sulfur is pretty much incapable of carrying anything else, these cars lack the placards that conventional tank cars carry (which can be changed with the cargo), hence the permanent markings.

 The string of yellow tank cars stretches on.

Bringing up the rear is a final carbon black hopper car, SRCX 3076, owned by Sid Richardson Carbon Co.
