Cars are in and they are foobalicious.  , I going to need a bigger layout. They look great, thanks Craig and Robb.

The best I can tell in quick surfing, that Tropicana tank car is one-of-a-kind. I would not be surprised if they shipped juice concentrate in it, but I am surprised that they would put their trade dress on an industrial vessel containing intermediate process. Like Bob said, who wants to know their orange juice comes out of a tank car? It's almost like knowing how sausage is made.

My understand is that the tank car (I believe there is only one) does carry concentrate on the five day trip from FL to CA.  Apparently an experiment at one point - but I never heard what happened.

Lou,the Tropicana tankcar was a one off experiment used to haul concentrate to the west coast.It has been gone for around 5 years atleast.I have thought about doing a couple of them one in N and one in Z.
