UTLX 70510 was built by Procor Oakville in November of 1980; part of a twenty car build. Due to the food service nature of the corn syrup payload, the interior of the tank was coated; protection of the commodity from the car. Curiously, the tank car has been repainted some nineteen months after original construction. Note the ‘PROCOR’ wordmark decal, introduced in 1976. Note also the period stencilling; CAPY rather than the current LD LMT, dual panel COT&S, CTC tank specification and prominent lessee name. ‘ZYMAIZE’ was a joint venture between Redpath Industries and John Labatt Ltd., based in London Ontario. Zymaize would morph into ‘CASCO’ and ultimately be acquired by ‘Ineos’, a British based conglomerate. UTLX 70510 would be remarked PROX 70510 in June of 1985 and taken out of service in September of 2022.
