Darling International cars

Hello everybody

Which industries takes the 54 foot funnel flow tankers of inedible tallow and the covered hoppers that both belong to Darling? What is inside the covered hoppers that is different from what is inside the tankers?

Here's a good, specific website that should answer your questions:

The tallow is transported in the tank cars, the bone meal in the covered hoppers.

By the way, this past week I saw one of the covered hoppers (NDYX 516300 series) with the Darling markings painted out--that lease could have been terminated.

Tank cars are mostly UTLX, but there are some ACFX/SHPX, GATX, and NATX cars as well. As far as I know, all are used for tallow, none for more refined products.

Cool, thankyou for the information.
