All I could find on the internet is tank cars built in 1900 and 1920. They were listed as 8001 and 8179 gallons without heaters.. For tanks taken off std gauge and put on narrow gauge I was guessing capacity to be around 5000 gallons just looking at their size. I guess the gallons are not painted on the narrow gauge tank cars??
