Another 15 cars were built in 1927 to meet this demand. This time they were constructed in Whiting, Indiana, and one final car was added in 1930. These “Type X” tanks, all in the nominally 6,500 gallon range, rode on channel underframes and 4′-8″ arch bar trucks. They kept their original numbers in the 12000-13999 series, but they were by no means sequential. They were equipped with tank heaters to aid in the unloading of cargo, while about half of the 1924 batch of cars were not. The Farmington oil movements, the opening of the Chama oil dock and Alamosa oil refinery, and extensive road projects in southwest Colorado re- quiring large shipments of road oil kept these cars busy. They were joined in 1937 by 25 of the Van Dyke frame- less cars, many of these cars wore the famous “Gramps” logo. In 1934, ULTX sold No. 13055 to the Sumpter Valley Railroad, where it be- came No. 100. The next year, ULTX sold six cars to the Penn-Conley Tank

Car Co. of Pittsburgh. These cars stayed in service on the narrow gauge carrying Texaco gasoline with the re- porting marks CYCX. These cars left Colorado sometime during World War II and at least one of the cars saw serv- ice in Hawaii on the Oahu Railway. Sometime in the late 1930’s, 12 of
the “No Heater” cars and five others in road oil service received dome plat- forms and ladders. The cars were renumbered in 1947 by ULTX accord- ing to their heater type (or lack there- of) finally bringing some sense to the numbering scheme. The No Heater cars were numbered in the 88000 to 88101 series, but with gaps between 88000 and 88005 and between 88015 and 888100 and 888101. The Type E heater cars were numbered 88102- 88120 with a gap between 88113 and 88120. Finally, the Type W heater cars were 88126 to 88131, sequentially. The final renumbering in 1956 put them all in order Nos. 11000 to 11033 with the No Heater cars coming first. In 1958 Nos. 11007 and 11008 were sold to the Denver & Rio Grande West- ern to become auxiliary water cars for rotary snowplows OM and OY. These
