Hi!
I'm actually wondering what was a typical clay slurry (kaolin) tank car in Canada during the 70s and 80s. I've found a lot of infos about the 90s and 00s and I remember seeing many JM Huber and Omya cars back then, however, my childhood memories of train in the 80s are devoid of any tank cars.
What was common company offering that service back then. Were funnel-type cars already that popular in that service to paper mills? I'm curious.
