4841: 70 Ton Container Cars
Prototype Information
Roco's
model of an ACF container car is apparently quite faithful, although it's an uncommon car. They were built in the 1950s to carry small containers of
acrylonitrile, a toxic, flammable and explosive chemical that required specialized transportation.
I've not been able to determine which railroads besides Du Pont used these cars.
