PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:

In the late 1960’s, there was demand for a smaller, versatile tank car that could fit onto smaller sidings and spurs. Aptly nicknamed, “Shorty” or “Beer Can” for its diminutive size, the car is based off of an ACF® design. At the time, larger tank cars were being ordered, but there was enough demand for a smaller tank car that could meet the needs of shippers with smaller sidings and weight limits on tracks. Usually these tank cars saw service hauling corn syrup, oils, andother heavy liquids. This run of Atlas Beer Can Tank Cars give a quite literal representation with paint schemes representing actual beer brands.
