Union Tank Car Company has unveiled UTLX 1776, a custom-designed tank car commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Built entirely in Alexandria, Louisiana, the railcar honors America’s manufacturing heritage and the skilled workers who continue to build critical transportation infrastructure in the United States. The car made its debut during a special celebration at UTLX’s manufacturing facility on June 5.
Following its Alexandria debut, UTLX 1776 will embark on a yearlong national tour, visiting each of UTLX’s eight railcar repair facilities across the United States. The tour will bring the America 250 celebration directly to the employees who maintain and support the nation’s tank car fleet every day, while recognizing the craftsmanship, dedication, and teamwork that connect UTLX operations across the country.
Founded in 1891, Union Tank Car Company has played an essential role in North American freight transportation for more than 135 years. Today, every tank car manufactured by UTLX is designed, built, and assembled in the United States.
