Here's one for Leo, or any other knowledgeable person.

I usually associate UTLX tank cars with gold or yellow reporting marks. Please 
tell me more about them.

Have they always been that color? Do some of the cars have white reporting 
marks today? Were they ever white? If so, when did they change over?

The standard-size tank car from the 1950s -- 1960s appears somewhat shorterthan 
the standard 40? box car of that day. Are they? If so, what was theusual length 
of the standard-size tank car then?
