I bought a chlorine tank car and it had decals/dry transfers indicating different chemicals on each of the cylinders. The car safety placards also have decals/dry transfers applied. Were these included with the car originally? Thanks.

A photo might help. None of the tanks on mine (two different ones, factory painted) have any markings. There cars that I am referring to have the eight tanks perpendicular to the long axis of the car, btw.
Dave,
Too late! I have already removed the decals/dry transfers as they were sloppily applied. They were diamond shaped symbols that had the name of the chemical inside. Some cylinders had a colored rectangle also on them, but the color of the rectangle did not necessarily correspond to the color of the diamond. The car I'm talking about has 15 silver cylinders perpendicular to the long axis of the car. It came in NYC, PRR, B&O, Halogen Chem Co. and a few others.
I'm guessing that this was somebody's homemade job; I just wondered if the decals/dry transfers were originally included with the car for owner application.
Cheers,
Price
