Thread-topic: [CBQ] CB&Q Tank car trains
The 1943-1945 ORER's noted that cars in the 230000-231601 series [i.e. tank 
cars] were temporarily assigned to commercial service on a mileage basis.

During WWII railroads operated crude trains for crude oil that had been 
transported by water previously. This was done to avoid the German u-boats that 
were operating off the U.S. coast.

Every available tank car was pulled from storage,shops, etc that would fit this 
need.
While cleaning out old files for an office move at my previous employer I found 
large amounts of correspondence about which cars would work and their 
locations. There was even discussions about leak rates in drips per minute that 
would be allowed to get the cars in service. Caulking was suggested as an 
acceptable repair vs replacing rivets.

There are available pictures of Q tank trains moving out of Wyoming in another 
time period. I dont recall any buffer car in the photos.
