__FMLX Tank Car #120
FMLX #120 is an 8,000 gallon, 40 ft, ICC Type 103 tank car with a light weight of 60,900 lbs. Built by General American Transportation Corp (GATX) in April 1953, it was formerly Ethyl-Dow Chemical Co. of Freeport, TX, EDCX #120.
The car was donated in 1994 by FMC Chemical to the B&O Museum, and was deeded as a gift to us in 2004. It was moved to Belington WV for restoration on October 20, 2006. The plan is to convert the tank car into an auxiliary tender for use with the WVN 2-8-0. | Volunteer and financial help are needed. We need to 'get it done' so click here to see how you can help.
