MNTX 412

Tank Car

Tank car MNTX 412 was built in 1959, probably as GATX 1891. MTM acquired it in the seventies, and has outfitted it as an auxiliary tender for NP 328. (Crews like to refer to it as the "water weenie.") During 1997 and 1998 it was out of service because of frequent hotboxes on one axle. Repairs have been made and it is available for use with NP 328 again.
