Liquid cylinders are intended for the transport and storage of cryogenic items that might be utilized in either their gaseous or liquid state. All of the liquid cylinders in the Dura-Cyl or Cryo-Cyl Series may be utilized for liquid argon, liquid nitrogen, or liquid oxygen. They are mostly utilized in their self-contained gaseous form. Microcylinders are also available for short-stroke travel, pressing, or hoisting.

JP Morgan’s Private Pullman Railcar,
Almost a hundred years ago, there were those who could outfit a private railcar the same way some today outfit private jets.
This particular railcar, a 1925 Pullman, was the private car of financier J.P. Morgan Jr. Very few ever had the opportunity to travel like this, but you can see the obvious benefits it offered while avoiding the early roads or attempting to travel long distances in a Model T Ford.
This masterpiece of railcar craftsmanship was completed in May of 1925 and it was named ERIE 400. The elegant private car is 85’ long and boasts an open platform, an observation room, four large bedroom suites, private baths, a dining room, full kitchen and crew quarters.

another silly headcanon for Duck
Duck got himself a monocle one Christmas from a cheap cracker and rarely wears it unless the outing is like going to a casino or to the Ivory nightclub where Daisy does her show performances.

hi do you take requests for id that arent actually posts? im watching the x files and i Think the train car that gets decoupled is from the pioneer zephyr family of trains, but im not sure.
heres the best pictures i got
and heres some crappy dark ones
thanks in advance!
My boy... that is a
Budd Company - RDC-2
If I've ever seen one.
RDC stands for Rail Diesel Car. That means it can move around on its own. Presumably it's being used as a railcar here cause it looks like one and it can control itself for whatever tomfoolery happens in the show. Curiously the windows have been plated over. I guess they did that for the show.
As for the Pioneer Zephyr connection... they were made by the same company! Everything Budd got their hands on was made of stainless steel though. I hesitate to call them related. Zephyrs have a dedicated power car and the earlier ones have semi-permanently coupled cars. The RDCs are easier to work with… every car is a power car so you can just slap more on if need be.
(Side tangent, The Pioneer Zephyr is just the first one made. Burlington Route named all their trainsets of that style the [X] Zephyr. Really the Zephyrs deserve their own post, they're great fun!)

Daisy Bristol. Random Headcanon since I didnt put one here; Has a purse full of beauty eccentials just in case (Comb, brush, perfume, conditioner, etc...). In most cases she will fix somebody elses (Gordon for example) looks more than her own as she wont allow her curls for example to get messed up in the first place.
