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 black with white lettering and runs on Archbar trucks. Built in April 1920, this car was owned and operated by the W.J. McCahan Sugar Refining Company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This 50-ton, non-insulated car had an 8,105 gallon capacity. The W.J. McCahan Company was founded in 1892, and in 1944 was sold to the American Sugar Refining Company.
