Checked the listing in a 1985 Equipment Register. The company is not General American Tank but is actually "General American Transportation"
I checked my fleet of AM GATX tankcars and they're all dated 10-86 with the blue GATX logo. Car number 22799 does not appear in the 1985 book which makes sense and it looks like two other AM numbers aren't listed. For those who have never seen an equipment guide, each tankcar entry lists car type, AAR type code, car numbers in service, Capacity in pounds, and number of cars in service AAR type codes can be found online. ken garber On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 9:30 AM, Matt <[email protected]> wrote: > If the model is an accurate representation of the prototype and the info > on the AM website is accurate... > > Matt Hogan > > --- In [email protected], "shabbona_rr" <user141771@...> wrote: > > > > I can't read it on the Ebay photo, besides, I would like to know when > these cars began to appear on the railroads.
