Re: Mystery Heinz 57 Vinegar Car?

Vinegar couldn't be carried in a metal tank car because vinegar is acidic and the reaction with the metal would ruin the vinegar. Nowadays of course, they could spray the interior with some kind of liner so it wouldn't affect the vinegar but they had nothing in those days.

Question concerning the Heinz vinegar car??
I remember this car with Atlas's first offerings back in the 60's but when did the prototype car get removed from service ? Such a unique looking car and surprise the vinegar wasn't hauled in a standard style to car ?
