Being a Midwest boy, I remember these tankcars that hauled liquid fertilizer to the grain elevators; plus, the fertilizer plant was switched by us at LaPlatte, NE....
This is my next reskin project, using the acid car model by Robert Murphy, and will soon be available.
Happy Rails,

A number of years ago I saw these cars up close and personal at Scott Paper Company in Mobile, Al while I was working on their "network".Personally, I think cars with these types of "ends" are neat! I just had to makes one...

Here its all hauled by GATX tankers.... with the exception to Annhydrous Ammonia which is hauled in by semi. Annhydrous Ammonia is a Gas and a liquid. The Gas forces the liquid out as its kept at 90 PSI. Very dangrous stuff, It will kill if breathed in... It freezes on contact and Burns any tissue. Has a very heavy smell of Ammonia and looks like a White vapor. I have delt with that stuff for most of my life. I started by pulling the tanks behind pickups... I then moved to applying it in the field. The tank is pulled behind what ever you use to apply it with and you have to watch the hitch all the time... It will wiggle free and the only thing holding it then is the Rubber hoses. A farmer was killed here when he didnt watch the hitch and he stretched the hoses out over 100 feet before the fitting on the tank gave way. The hose Wipped up and hit him between the 3rd and 4th vertibra sevoring his head. So its dangrous any way you look at it.
