Comments on: This is my first time noticing this type of tank car on train #550 to the Camrose Sub (and ultimately, the Brazeau Sub). I would later see these delivered to the then Union Carbide plant (Soon to be Dow Chemical) at Prentiss, near Red Deer. I can’t be certain, but the car appears to be empty. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

They, along with a six axle trucked cousins, were given some interesting nick names... I believe pictured were call 'H-bombs' and the smaller (lol) six axles were 'A-bombs'. Recall seeing them in the US often (Conrail in PA), but never Canada. Nice catch, Steve. I wasn’t aware that these monsters were used in Canada.
