Manufacturer Information:
The Operating Barrel Car No. 3562-50 are the YELLOW varieties of this car. The barrel car used a vibrator located in the car to unload the barrels into a line side bin with the use of a 6019 or UCS track section. Produced in 1955 and 1956, this variation would have the date "NEW 5-54" written on the sides of this car that would be numbered "356250." The mold was changed in 1955 to lock the unloading bracket by use of a tab when the car was not in use. This prevented the barrels from unloading at random points while moving. This car came with bar-end trucks that is sometimes found with magnetic tabbed couplers. There are three variations:
Variation A: Has a YELLOW painted body without bracket tab.
Variation B: Has a YELLOW painted body with bracket tab.
Variation C: Has a YELLOW body that is not painted.
