Y' know, I never paid much attention to 8 or 10,000 gallon tank cars The few photos I have show ladders but that may be the luck of seeing one with two ladders or just orientation in a yard. This comes under the "I should have looked when I had the chance to look and now they're gone" category. I would have questioned Don on this as AF cars came with two ladders and we all know that AF's stuff was accurate. Then I found a neat web site with some detailed photos of built up tank models and more photos on construction. These guys are sticklers for details and by gosh, the cars have only one ladder.
