Union Tank Car makes the big black railroad tank cars you see being pulled around the countryside in RR trains.

Smart-aleck dept.: They make the ones marked "UTLX." I used to work for a UT subcontractor many years ago. General American (GATX) and American Car & Foundry (ACFX), two other railcar manufacturers, were nearby. We made parts for them too. After all these years, I still look for their marks when I get stopped by a train.

We run about 2000 of these. 1/3 are UTLX.
