19,600 Gallon Tank Car

Prototype Information

The 42-foot, 19,600-gallon coiled and insulated tank car is the car of choice for hauling the sweetener, with Trinity Industries, Union Tank Car and Greenbrier Companies the most prevalent manufacturers.

From 1984 to 1998, Trinity Industries built more than 7,000 cars to haul sweeteners. With colorful logos representing corn producers, they were among the most visually interesting freight cars on the rail.

Today, Trinity Industries builds a 19,636-gallon coiled and insulated tank car for transporting corn syrup that’s similar to Greenbrier’s 19,600-gallon version and smaller than Union Tank Car’s 19,900-gallon car.
