Rupert Distillate is another name used in the trade for kerosene type products i.e. diesel fuel, steam engine fuel oil and heating oil. It simply means oil that has been distilled (refined). The term is applied to all petroleum products between gasoline and residual oil. Steam engines burned everything from heavy distillate (number 3 & 4) to residual oil (black oil). Most diesel fuel is number 2 and most heating oil is number 1. John On Tuesday, December 3, 2013 9:54 PM, Rupert & Maureen <gamlenz@ihug.co.nz> wrote: Hol
Any guesses what the distillate (up to 10,000 gallons) would be used for? And still on the subject of renumbering, any idea why tank cars were renumbered out of the revenue service numbering in about 1938? Rupert Gamlen Auckland NZ From:

Sent: Wednesday, 4 December 2013 6:40 a.m. To: CB&Q Group Subject: [CBQ] Company Tank Cars In light of recent discussions about the use of company-owned tank cars
in revenue service (which occurred primarily before their renumbering into
the 230000 series), here are a couple of bits of correspondence on the topic
that I uncovered in the Colorado Railroad Museum library while sorting old
records yesterday:
