DuPont built 5 of these car that were, insulated, high pressure, heating coils and a bonnet! DuPont wanted more cars to haul Ethylene glycol, so the outer skin was removed with the insulation. This left the heating coils exposed and in place! They added a manway, low pressure valves and a bottom drain. This made for a crazy looking car.dab_b-52.jpg 225cc_o2.jpg 7bf19_o3.jpg
