A freight train with a GATX TankTrain with the CN logo rolled through over the CN/GTW on September 26th. The actual practice is there are only 17 cars in the section starting from the A end to the B end. Only 17 cars, if you are going over 17 cars from end to end you are not-prototypical, and you are hogging all the TankTrain Cars. Share some of them with the rest of us.

You got to run them if you got them!!! I guess I am a tank train hog.

Thanks for posting your UP Tank Train video I love the TT cars also. I think I counted about 21 cars in your consist. Looks like you had most of the ones that have been issued other than the CN. Thank you for sharing with us.
That's a great train! You need one CF hopper right after the engines.
Joe do you have any scheduled shipping date from Lionel on the TT cars??
Pushed back another month.

I thought someone had dropped my order. I didn't know the dates. Maybe I'll still get some?
Joe you need some of those white TT cars
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
I got a couple! I ordered a couple. I need moe!
Joe you know those CN cars are sort of a stealth car for a big part of the year in cold country 
Trainworld told me they are fairly certain of mid-Dec delivery.
Who knows? Maybe.

Thanks and you are correct. A hopper between the power units and first tank car is the standard you now see on all oil trains.

And also one on the rear end, at least that's the way the BNSF operates their oil trains.

Rod are you in for some additional CN TT CARS?

Hmmm, maybe I can get one of those MTH Quaker state versions and modify it to look like a single?
Is that third pic up from the bottom, a derail? I have to ask 'cause it sure looks bad!
Joe its a string of cars with the unloading piping along the siding I think.

Rod I have a few of each that have been issued up to mow. I need to recount them and decide how to even up the fleet. I do really like my CN running behing the big red and black diesels so I am sure I will get a few more of the white CN for sure.
Come on Bill. Everyone knows you bought too many. Send them east for me!!!!!!!!
I had to narrow down some engine choices and figured it would be easiest to find the roads I prefer. As long as I don't see a road, I don't prefer it.
Now Joe you know it takes a lot of TT cars to keep a n Oil Refinery running well and with winter on the way we are having to switch over our products and need additional cars to use as WOW'S. The WOW'S serve an important function for smooth operations.
Bill, Joe;
You can never have too many TankTrain cars!
Rod
Rod I agree with you.
My new photos of real TankTrain tank cars.
