Tank cars transport all types of liquid and semi-liquid products including many hazardous commodities. Non-pressurized tank cars typically carry non-hazardous commodities such as vegetable oil, corn syrup, ethylene glycol, sulfur, petroleum products and industrial products. Pressurized tank cars are designed for compressed liquefied commodities like propane, ammonia, chlorine and carbon dioxide.
