And, in confirmation of their commercial service status, three tank cars
were destroyed on the AT&SF in May 1944

During the War, the Burlington didn't have any revenue service tank cars,
only Company Service ones, and didn't get any revenue tank cars until the
130000 series was built in 1965.  However, ORER's in 1943-1945 were noted
"Note G - Cars in series 23000-2231601 are temporarily assigned to
commercial service and are on a mileage basis effective March 1 , 1943, as
covered by A.A.R. Circular No. T-117-L".

Series 230000-231601 was for Company Service tank cars of which the
Burlington had 300 in August 1943, down to 290 by May 1945. 

As an aside, when all the tank cars were renumbered from the 15xxxx series
in 1938, four cars with steam coils were renumbered to 205272-205275 and
205290 but I don't know when the coils were removed (and they possibly
joined the 230xxx series). Can anyone provide a date for the removal of the
steam coils?
