I know of the photo that you are referring to, I saw?it in a magazine (I believe it was in Model Railroader) just after Atlas had released the tank car. When Atlas had released the beer can car in the GATX red scheme, I?bought one and ran it with the GATX whale car.? When people questioned me about it, I would tell them that the shipper could not get the full load into the one tank car.??

Somewhere on the internet, I found a promo photo of the whale tank car coupled to a beer can tank (similar to the older Atlas model).. I didnt save it, and I wish I could find it again.
