42' Tank Cars

Tank cars are normally grouped by their interior linings and not by the cargo carried. Tank cars carrying dangerous goods are generally made of different types of steel, depending on the intended cargo and operating pressure. Food service tank cars are lined with stainless steel, glass or cleanable plastic and they are marked as non-pressurized, insulated cars. Tank cars may also be lined with rubber or coated with specialized coatings for tank protection or product purity purpose.
