Description
Railroad Short Name: NATX
NATX “Black Lease Delivery 1966” introduces the first version of the NATX “plain black lease” paint scheme, this one from the 1966 original build of this specific car lot. These cars feature the Roman-style stenciling in white, which certainly “pops” against the black-painted carbody. Like most non-billboard lessee stenciled tank cars, these cars state their lessee in a very small stencil on the car, including the words “Hercules Powder Company.” Check out the reporting mark, road numbers, and NACC-standard serial number applied to the super-detailed underframe. These tank cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with 36’ wheels, separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken roller bearing caps.
