NSC’s new crude oil “slick”
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefNSC’s entry into the burgeoning tank car market bumps the number of manufacturers of this car type to six. And like its carbuilder counterparts, and tank car lessors and end-users, NSC is actively participating in an ongoing rulemaking process to formalize specifications for a new-generation DOT-111 that will improve upon the voluntary CPC-1232 industry standard.
NSC also offers a 29,000-gallon coiled/insulated model and later this year will be introducing a 25,500-gallon coiled/insulated car.
