DUPX Tank Car 12401 |
| Description: |
DuPont 16-wheel tank car DUPX 12401 was entering the CSX GENTILLY YARD on an SP-CSX run-through train in New Orleans, on its way from Texas to North Carolina. This was the first of five 38,300-gallon DUPX cars (12401-12405) built for DuPont by AMF in May and June 1970. These cars were initially heated and insulated; but by the time this image was taken, their insulation and outer jacket had been removed and they were in ethylene glycol service. They had an outside length of 92-07 with a LT WT of 144,000 LBS and a LD LMT of 382,000 LBS, for a gross rail load of 526,000 LBS. Car 12403 disappeared from the Equipment Register in 1991, but the other four remained in use until 2007 and were scrapped during January 2010. |
