PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

The North American Car Corporation designed and built these unique 8000 gallon Beer Can tank cars specifically for transporting smaller batches of various liquid commodities. Some customers couldn t handle or didn t need large shipments of the product. Several leasing companies rostered this car. These short, eye-catching models, were seen all throughout the 1970 s-1990 s in assigned service.
