LIONEL TRAINS TWO DOME CITIES SERVICE TANK CAR No. 6045
The Cities Service 2-Dome Tank Car No. 6045 was issued in uncataloged sets in 1960 and 1961. The body was held to the Type 9 frame with tabs and the lettering was rubber-stamped on the sides of a painted GREEN tank. It came with arch-bar trucks that have solid non-operating couplers.
This car is the same as the Cities Service No. 6465 save that the trucks and the couplers are different. There are no variations.
