Tank cars assigned to molasses service tend to be older,smaller capacity  
cars of whatever era you are studying.
They generally are non insulated with either interior or exterior heater  
coils. The molasses usually goes into animal feed and sets up very hard in 
the  cars and therefore the heater coils. In the 80s,90s and today molasses 
cars tend  to ne what are referred to as HP20s or IXC 20s(Heater piped 20s or 
insulated  exterior coiled 20s). Basically the industry used the oldest cars 
they could  lease.
Also of interest molasses does corrode carbon steel when heated to make it  
flow out of the car. I've seen many a molasses car so thin on the top that 
a man  would be afraid to walk on the top for fear of breaking thru thu the 
thin  remaining shell. Federal rule HM 201 solved that and many have gone to 
 scrap.
