– GATX Pittsburgh Coke & Chemical 1952+ shows a colorful repaint for a Pittsburgh-based shipper.  Located on Neville Island, an island located on the Ohio River West of Pittsburgh, PA, Pittsburgh Coke and Chemical produced coal-based granular activated carbon for use in military protection masks and water treatment purposes.  These cars had tanks that were painted silver with black bottoms, but the kicker was the stenciling color – which was red to match the company standard.  These models are sharp.
