NJ Museum of Transportation, "Pine Creek RR" took delivery of two of the three 1923 tank cars that were used for fuel storage in Bay Head.
The third went to Penn. RR Museum in Strasburg.
They have a faint but readable "Tidewater" name, and a Flying 'A' logo on the side. These were excessed when the fueling facility was upgraded.
Although they are standard gauge, they are narrow by todays standards.
Another piece of history preserved!!
