I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Here is another example..



This site says that the "Procor Limited" lettering didn't start until the early 1960s.. before that they were just UTLX cars in Canada.

Ex Imperial oil IOX cars, here's a in service shot of the series...

I seem to remember the expo rail car was a lawn ornament at a Procor facility, hence the unusual lettering...

Ryan:  That tank looks very much like the cars used on the D&RGW narrow gauge, although theirs didn't have the "standard" center sill, being either frameless or wide-framed.  Many of theirs came from the UTLX 110xx series, so probably built about the same time.

Lots of interesting freight equipment there, plenty of potential kitbashing and scratchbuilding projects. And much more New Haven than I expected.
1004 is a repowered McKeen car.   Note the truck mounted propulsion is gone, replaced by a gas electric or diesel electric. Still quite
ugly!
