It's great when a plan works out right.  Thanks to all for helping this organization bring back these survivors of the B&SR.

Seeing the B&SR's tank car brings a question or two.  Did SOCONY supply the tanks for free or at reduced cost or did the railway purchase them out right or did the customer foot the cost of the tank?  Were they built special for 2 foot service or were they used else where? Were there more than two tank cars?  Which Maine 2 foot railways had them?

There were only 2 Two-foot tank cars. Both were on the Bridgton and Saco River. I'm not sure about the smaller tank now at Bridgton, but the one currently in Alna is believed to have come from a Standard Gauge railroad, recieved with the patches that are still in place today.
