During the 1940s, the petroleum industry began marketing LPG as a cleaner and more efficient fuel than the existing coal and oil. Transporting LPG requires specially designed high-pressure tank cars. During the early 40s the only ACF tank car that qualified was the 10,500 gallon high-pressure tank car. After the war, ACF set out to design a whole new car for the emerging industry. As a result the 11,000 gallon tank car was introduced by ACF in 1947. Many thousands were built up through the mid-1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Atlas model faithfully reproduces this late steam\/early diesel era tank car in two versions (with and without platform rails). The cars with top platform rails were used where there was no elevated loading\/unloading facility. The cars without the top platform rails were often specified for customers that had access to elevated loading and unloading facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinely molded handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank fittings and safety placards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-ton friction-bearing trucks with AccuMate® couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate painting and lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatform where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42220018860114,"sku":"ATL-20007351","price":48.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/atlas-ho-20007351-11-000-gallon-tank-car-with-platform-master-polysar-pclx-170-black-blue-white","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
