Hi
I noticed that there seem to have been three TCX double domed tank cars that ran on the D&RGW. I take it they ran out of Farmington and I have seen references to them as "Bunker Cars"? Can anyone tell me what their purpose was? Why they were built? etc.
Any info would be gratefully received.

Martyn
