Some History
Different designs evolved for different loads. One of the most distinctive is the funnel flow car with its "bent in the middle" shape, developed by the Union Tank Car Company (now UTLX Manufacturing Inc.) in the 1960s. Designed for liquids that can be unloaded by gravity (as opposed to pressurized unloading), the car is lower in the middle so the tank acts like a funnel to facilitate unloading.
