Athearn Genesis HO GEN UTC 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car, UTLX #11726/11735/11777 (3)
Union Tank Car (UTC) and Procor, UTC’s Canadian affiliate, built 13,000-gallon (13k) tank cars, particularly the 13,600-gallon specialized acid service tankers. Produced from the late 1970s through the late 1990s, these tank cars often featured a distinctive early four-section (built from mid-1979 to late-1988) or late three-section (early-1988 to late-1999) welded, non-insulated tank body. Primarily designed for transporting sulfuric acid and other chemicals, these cars are commonly seen in modern-day industrial service, characterized by a white body with central black band and high-pressure fittings
