Request: Pics of tank cars being unloaded
Posted by tstage on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 12:05 PM
Does anyone know where I can find some pics of tank cars being unloaded at a diesel fuel facility? I am specifically interested in seeing how an unloading rack is used. Thanks! [:)]

Tom, there is a book available titled: "Tank Cars from AC&F". According to the
add, it contains 272 pages with 514 photos. If such pics as you are seeking
exist, I would think that you should be able to find them there. It is published
by Signature Press. Price: $55.00. I don't own it yet, but I am interested.
See add in Trains Magazine. Hope this is helpful.

You might try The Tankcar Homepage.

This page has a photograph of a Southern Pacific tankcar being unloaded in Dunsmuir, CA.

The photographs below were taken at Dunsmuir, CA by John Mosbarger.
