NERW Tropicana Tank Cars

Unread postby harryadkins » Tue Aug 30, 2016 3:52 pm

This model is a Tropicana Orange Juice reskin of the default Kuju 30,000 gallon tank car. This 30,000 USG NC/NI tank car is designed for the transportation of ethanol and other non-regulated commodities. It is equipped with a 20-inch 8-bolt manway, a 75 psi pressure relief valve and a top fittings arrangement consisting of 2- and 3-inch valves. The bottom outlet is a 4-inch ball valve. Various options for loading/unloading valve configurations are available depending on service requirements.

I was up early this morning and saw the CSX Tropicana Juice Train passing through my hometown, Kingstree, SC. The train had two locomotives, Tropicana reefers, Tropicana containers, and Tropicana tank cars. Since the NERW Pennsylvania Sub has a Tropicana Distributor, I thought it would be nice to have some tank cars to unload. The model is not an exact duplicate, but it’s pretty close. Hope you enjoy.

Would these tank cars be suitable for transporting orange juice?

The answer in general would be no as it has to be kept refrigerated. More probably used to haul fructose syrup for food products, and they can cary canola oil, vegetable oil, corn syrup, ect. And so on and so forth.

The last time I saw the Juice Train, it had six Tropicana tank cars on the rear. They were different from the model I used, similar to cryogenic tanks. My impression is that they haul juice concentrate for later processing.

Don't change what I said.
I really meant to write the NERW, because there's a Tropicana plant on it.
