The Acid and LPG tank cars have been promoted from Athearn to Genesis. These cars now feature Genesis trucks with rotating bearing caps, trainline hoses, and coupler cut bars at nearly the same retail.

Introduced in 1992, these large pressurized cars carry huge amounts of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from refineries and major distribution centers to regional distribution sites. Ever consider where that fuel for your barbecue, or the gas in your car came from? Chances are it spent some time in one of these. In addition to LP Gas, these cars carry ammonia, butadiene, isoprene, gasoline, etc.
