    Mounting the body bolsters closer together than on other 42,000-gallon RailWhales allowed these cars to have side-mounted ladders and still remain within the Plate C clearance diagram.  All 25 cars remained in the ORER through the OCT 1978 issue and then disappeared in the next edition, so they were listed for less than 10 years.
