A couple of great shots of the whole string of these water cars and the tender for #30 loaded on SG flats sitting in Minturn 04.21.40. It is in Benders Uintah book. There is also a great pic of the #50 hauling 5 of the water cars out of Mack on the second to the last weekly train on May 9, 1939. It is a Perry shot and illustrates the difference in size between these URY built water cars. The size varies from 3,425 gallons on the 0465 to 5,600 gallons on the 0469
