You are correct that the tank cars numbered in the 200000 series were general 
MOW cars (some were  used as water bottles for steam engines). I was merely 
pointing out that the 231000 series was also a company service series assigned 
to the Stores Department.

I think it was my comment that you were referring to.  There is a photo of 
205277 (which I believe is a TM-5) in the MoW slide set 
and labelled for the Alliance rotary plow.

I haven't a list of the allocation of company service and MoW numbers (time to 
start creating one!) but, looking at other equipment 
in the 205xxx series, I presumed that this was a general MoW series relating to 
track work as opposed to distribution services.

Someone mentioned that some of the 231000 series tank car were renumbered into 
the company service series of numbers. The 231000 
series was a company service series assigned to the Stores Department for fuel 
oil and lubrication oil service just as the 220000 
series was for ballast cars (these cars were considered both company service 
and revenue cars).
