History

Since 2012, TrinityRail® has built thousands of 31,000 Gallon Crude Oil Tank Cars to meet the growing needs of the oil industry. Mile-long unit trains with 100+ cars crisscross the United States and Canada daily to deliver crude from the oil fields of North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana to refineries on the East, Gulf and West Coasts. These cars are now being used in ethanol service as well.  The TrinityRail tank car is easy recognizable by its unique trapezoid-shaped end shields.
