According to the " American Car and Foundry " book, by Edward Kaminski, ACFX # 73871,is from a series 73868-73872,and leased to Texas Alkyls. In regards to SHPX # 220,the Official Railroad Equipment Register (ORER),lists it as one car.As to how many,its unknown. There is no further record of this car (SHPX 220720) in the ACF book that I have. As for Albemarle Corp., they are not listed in the book,by Kiminski,so I beleive that they may have been built by Union Tank Car Company,though further looking in the ORER says that SHPX is a reporting mark of ACF Industries, in St. Charles,MO. So as to the series of this car............... ? It may have been just one car built. Hope some of this info this helps you out. <br />Andrew
