Cars that Haul Liquids Everywhere
Developed by the Union Tank Car Company during the 1960s, Funnel-Flow cars
carry all kinds of liquids and slurries (mixtures of water and other
materials) that can be unloaded by gravity. The car name says it all -- the
entire tank is slightly lower in the middle, so the contents flow towards
the lowest point, like a funnel, for faster, more complete unloading.
Funnel-Flow tank cars come in several lengths; dense, heavy liquids are
shipped in shorter cars; lighter fluids move in the 54-footers. Many cars
that haul thick liquids such as asphalt, molten sulfur and corn syrup, have
with internal heating coils to reheat the contents for faster unloading
These cars are favorites of the chemical and paper industries and a great
way to expand traffic on your railroad. You'll find them hauling kaolin
slurries to paper mills, fuel additives to refineries and food additives to
processing plants. And, you'll also find them running as unit trains,
moving molten sulfur.
Models feature styrene bodies; metal handrails where appropriate;
razor-sharp painting and printing; free-rolling trucks and knuckle
couplers.
