Special food-grade tank cars have been used to transport a variety of sweet concentrates from distribution centers to factories all over the United States. Commodities such as corn syrup, cane syrup, honey, molasses and others were commonly shipped in bulk by rail in heated tank cars to processing plants, chocolate factories, breweries and soft drink factories. Sometimes adorned by bright and flashy artwork, they were colorful “stand-outs” in any manifest freight train. This Sweet Liquid Tank Car Series will feature twelve prototypically accurate 39’ Single Dome Tank Cars!

This 39’ single dome tank car is yellow with blue belly and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Built in October 1949, and serviced in 1961, this car belonged to a series of 8 cars painted similarly for the St. Lawrence Starch Company of Port Credit, Ontario. Used to transport corn syrup, they could be found in service between Port Credit and numerous candy and food companies in eastern Canada through the early 1980s.
