My youngest son (age 4) bought me an Atlas N scale freight car this weekend with his allowance money. It is a beer can shorty tank car, marked GATX 86585 with the slogan "For goodness sake eat more honey" I cannot read the build date. It looks like '67 to me, to my wife it looks like '47I was just curious what would such a car be used for. I assume it transported honey, but what sort of industries would be receiving such large quantities of honey by rail. Would it go to bakeries, breweries, chocolate factories and the like? Or would it tranport honey collected in one region to a bottler in another area?
