Thank you Taylor and Adam. They ran in blocks of up to 6 cars, that would blow your mind for sure.

Are there still many cars like this around, or have larger axle loadings done them in?

Thank you Richard.
Adam, the 40 year rule killed off the multi-axle tank cars, with one exception. The six axle CELX acetic acid cars were give a 10 year extension. They have a aluminum
tank with a steel center sill.The last of the series of cars like mine were gone by 2011, most were cut up in 2008-2009.
Regards, Bobby

Bobby,
Were these cars used for transporting aircraft deicing fluid?

Charlie, everyone, including me thought so. Much of it went to a Dupont nylon plant. It was also used in other chemicals. I don't think any of it was used in antifreeze.
