We have very little information on CSOX No. 2198. The car was
built
in May 1927 for the Cities Service Pipeline Co. It ended its
service
days with the company by providing diesel storage at a Citgo Petroleum
facility in the Houston area. The company donated the car to the
Gulf Coast Railroad Museum in 1984.
On December 31, 2002, the car left the museum on a flatbed
truck, headed
for the Union Tank Car Co. shop in Cleveland, Texas. Just a few
weeks
later, the car returned, gleaming with a new coat of paint and other
work,
courtesy of Union Tank Car. Our thanks to Union Tank Car and all
of its Cleveland shop employees for taking on this project!
