Over at trains.com there is a video of the loaded oil cans heading eastbound (southbound). I think the link is cs.trains.com in the general discussion area. Look for "Southern Pacific Tank Train". It's a nice video. |

It can be found towards the bottom of page 14 of the trains.com forums of the Trains Magazine Forums section. It was started June 29, 2008 by Idahosurge.

This train also had some big numbers to go with it. It carried 1,848,600 gallons of oil per loaded train. It weighed 10,608 tons (21,216,000 pounds) usually having 6 units on the point and 6 units of mid train helpers. Dispatchers normally called it the loaded oil cans. They operated between Bakersfield and Carson, California. It was a real treat, IMO, to watch this train roll by.
