Re: [CBQ] 232000-232199 Tank Cars

The tank cars in the 231000 series were TM-5/A/B class.  They were numbered 
151000-151124 when built in 1918 and were renumbered to 
231000-231124 (TM-5A) in about 1938 when all tank cars were renumbered.  At 
about this time, steam coils were added.  Some were 
renumbered to 230800-230924 (TM-5B) when the heater coils were removed, and 21 
of them were renumbered to 231125-231145 when heater 
coils were put back again. I can't help with the dates of the TM-5B work.

Individual cars were renumbered into the MoW number series (such as 204300, 
205400) when assigned to oil or water service, and 
twelve of the cars were renumbered by BN in 1970 to 974053-974064.

There is a photo of 231036 on page 121 of Mike Spoor's Color Guide and a photo 
of 231039 in Bulletin 36 on page 46.

For some reason I solved some self-confusion. The intended model in the 
articles was for the 12,000 gallon 231000 series, but used 
photos of the 232000 series.

I have not been able to find any photos of the 231000 series.
