Crossposted from the "Steam Era Freight Cars" (STFMC) YahooGroup, here are some photos of helium cars at the Library of Congress site.

These were taken by Jack Delano who is well known as a documenter of railroads during the World War II era-- when officially, pictures of railroad activities were frowned upon if not downright illegal.









I think these shots illustrate how good the A1G model really is, not only for its time but against current offerings as well.

Michael and George, thank you for the helium tanks car photos. They are
just excellent!

And, in answer to a question Michael asked a bit ago about "ghost" paint
jobs, I have never seen this with Atlas cars but I have with other importers'
cars from RoCo.

I'm sure it was a result of extra cars in road names not needed and
repainting without bothering to strip the old paint off first.

I would like to add one more photo to the helium car discussion, not that I am trying to make this a ATSF or proto site. But it shows the detail that Atlas/Roco caught in their N scale car and what a Helium rail site plant looked like.

Sir,

Great photo. And the source is Kansas, where 98% of the world's Helium is
found.

thanks,
