In 1928 GATC purchased Sharon Tank Car Corporation, whose manufacturing facilities in Sharon, Pennsylvania, became GATC's second building site.
Yes there were blimps in Akron and the Erie went through there, but it was the regular looking bottle business that got me thinking these could be just about anywhere.
The railroad museum in Tomball, Texas has one of these cars. I believe it was used by NASA.
There is a museum in Amarillo, too, that has several on display. The Texas and Oklahoma panhandle as well as around Southwest Kansas has the world's largest helium fields. ATSF, FW&D and Rock Island were the big shippers out of there.
