    I thought I had saved the link, but apparently I didn't. Hope someone out there can give me this link. Thanks, Jim

    The one I had seen previously was great on stating years and footages on the various tank cars with lots of illustrations. The immediate question that I am trying to answer is when did 60 foot fuel tankers in general appear on the railroads? More specifically when did they appear on the Southern Pacific Railroad?
