Union X-3 Tankcar: UTLX - 1950s Paint

The X-3 cars were built in various capacities and configurations, including 6,500 gallon, 8,000 gallon and 12,000 gallon tanks. They were also built with single, double and triple domes. However, none of these variants were more numerous than the basic 10,000 gallon, single-dome version. From the 1920s onwards Union Tank Car (UTLX) fielded the largest fleet of tank cars in North America, and the 10,000 gallon X-3 accounted for nearly 13,000 of them!

The basic X-3 was used to haul fuel oil, gasoline, vegetable oils – essentially any liquid that did not require special handling features. These cars went EVERYWHERE

HO NSC 73’ Centerbeam Flatcar - Single Car
BNSF (brown)

One of the most overlooked, and yet common loads carried by North American railroads is finished wood products. Over 20,000 examples of this car were produced by National Steel Car, between 1987 through the mid 2000s, with some car variations along the way.

Whenever you see a general merchandise freight pass by you, there’s a high probability that you will see at least four or more centerbeams mixed in. But have you taken notice of the road names/ownership of those cars? Centerbeams are unique in that they are owned by large class I railroads, leasing companies and smaller shortlines.

In the 1980s the Canadian Pacific repainted a few of the former Milwaukee Road PC&F 7633 Boxcars. In the photos in our collection we were able to locate only 2 numbers that were repainted and each was unique. Both cars received CP's Action Red paint and retained the original MILW reporting marks and numbers. Car 4225 was the more spartan of the two and received data only in a simple helvetica style lettering. Car 4231 was repainted earlier and received the CP Rail lettering and used a narrow, sans serif lettering style with stencil breaks. Both cars were still on the rails through the 2000s.

After the Union Pacific acquisition of Western Pacific in 1982, the UP repainted some of the WP PC&F 7633 Boxcars. In May of 1985, car 3177 was repainted in UP's mineral red scheme with a small shield in the upper right hand corner. Up also assigned the cars to be the B-21-7 series.

Here's a WalthersMainline boxcar perfect for 1970s and later HO layouts! In response to a growing shortage of suitable boxcars, railroads big and small began updating and expanding with fleets of larger 50' American Car & Foundry Exterior Post Plate B Boxcars. Introduced in 1971, these earlier versions of the car featured the popular Dreadnaught end, and would remain in general freight service for years afterward.

40' PS-1 Boxcar
Canadian Pacific

As North American railroads began replacing war-weary equipment, many turned to Pullman-Standard and the brand-new 40' PS-1 Boxcar. Based on early postwar cars built from 1947 to 1949, this model is a great addition to steam and diesel-era layouts, as some of the protoypes were still in service into the late 1980s!
