Transportation. Tank cars. This train of tank cars on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad illustrates the new plan for solid-train movement of oil. The plan cuts down the time consumed in the previous turn-around of tank car equipment, making more cars available to haul oil to the East

Tank cars, vital link in wartime domestic oil transport; with railroads breaking all-time traffic records, they are still able to give valuable service in hauling the tank cars of the oil companies from Gulf Coast and Texas fields. But only a fraction of the required tank cars are available. Railroads are hauling 500,000 barrels daily, hope for 800,000 as more cars can be made available for movement to the East. But this still would be only half of the normal civilian requirement

New type of boxcar petroleum carrier which the Office of Defense Transportation hopes may soon be helping to solve the oil shortage in the East. The car is a standard automobile-type steel box car fitted with four steel tanks enclosed in wooden boxes. It has a capacity of 12,200 gallons--considerably more than the average tank car serving the East

Transportation. Freight car movements. With transportation assuming vast new importance in wartime America, movement of freight cars must be accomplished with the fullest efficiency and speed. Loss and diversion of ocean carriers which served our seaboard cities have thrown an enormous burden upon the railroads

This image dataset is generated from our world's largest public domain image database. Made in two steps (manual, and image recognition), it comprises of more than 35,000 images of all types and sizes - an astonishing number if keep in mind that the total number of steam locomotives ever built was just one order of magnitude larger. All images are in the public domain, so there is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial. Please contact us if you need a dataset like this, we may already have it, or, we can make one for you, often in 24 hours or less.
