Greg,

 

There is a Data Sheet on the TM-3 tank cars.. It is iavailable at the company store:

http://www.burlingtonroute.org/store/index.php?category=sheets&button=Submit

 

The cars remained black but the lettering did move. Also in 1938 they were renumbered to 230000-230106.

 

The Data sheet has a photo of one being used as a water bottle in Wyoming.

 

Below is a picture I took I took around 1980.

From the CB&Q Freight Car book by Spoor, in 1911, the CB&Q received 107 10,000 gallon tank cars from American Car & Foundry. The FW&D received 150 the same year. Does anyone know if the paint scheme changed over time? Attached are 2 photos of an O scale version of the tank car.

 

Also, does anyone know if these tank cars, which were primarily used in fuel and lube service, were ever used as water bottles with steam locomotives?

 

Thank you,
