B/A Oil Company Tank Car Artwork

In the early years of the 20th century, oil and oil products were becoming the "black gold" that we know them to be today. The British American Oil Company Limited was organized with a Province of Ontario Charter that was issued on October 17, 1906. The charter was granted by King Edward VII to B/A Oil.

As the years went by and oil became more and more important, B/A Oil grew. With this growth, B/A Oil made more and more use of rail transport of their products. So much so that the sight of B/A Oil tank cars was a common across Canada.

While B/A Oil eventually disappeared to be replaced by other companies in the oil industry, their legacy lives us. So do many who grew up seeing the many B/A Oil tank cars on trains in their youth. Unfortunately, for modelers, this company has been overlooked by model manufacturers. So with the lack of available models, modelers have had to make do with decorating their own cars, such as the one below:
