Allan, Thought you might like this:
The guy who took it has a link to a load of photos he took in 1980:

Some good weathering can be seen in these photos for those who want to make their rolling stock look real.

Thanks much, Bob! I have a good number of single-dome tank cars in various liveries (most in Alaska RR of course), so perhaps I should take a few of the non-ARR cars and try for a re-paint. Hadn't thought of that before, but it definitely would be worth doing.
You're welcome 
That type of tankcar has to be my favorite, although I'm a little surprised it's 10,000 gallons, just looks more like an 8,000 gallon car to me.
Can't tell if that's rust on the lower part of the tank, if it is all 3 in the photo rusted exactly the same LOL!
Looks to be rust residue (running in the rain) from the wheels.
Rick.
