Butane Cars

Posted by awwrailroad on Friday, June 3, 2005 2:28 PM

[?] How was Butane and other bottled gases shipped by rail before the giant 33,000 gallon cars now out there? Does anyone make a kit that can be "bashed"?

Please do not mention "propane" and "bashed" in the same sentence.

They were shipped in smaller, pressurized tank cars of 10,000 to 15,000 gallon capacity.
