SKOL 1037 - Covered Hopper Car at Newton, KS
Despite its appearance, this is a 3,000 CU FT pressure differential covered hopper car built by Union Tank Car as UTLX 8024 in 8-1967. It was later owned by Baroid Drilling Fluids Incorporated and ran as BDNX 246 and ended up owned by Watco's SKOL operation. Today it's retired and serves as additional storage at Builders Concrete & Supply Inc. A very rare and unique freight car, I can only hope one day it makes it into preservation.
