This is Bluford Shops 73621 70T 3Bay Ofst Hpr CSOX. 70-ton offset-side 3-bay hopper with load, ready to run. Cities Service Oil Co. USEX (black). Cities Service leased this group of cars from United States Railway Equipment in 1972. USRE had bought them used and had them rebuilt by Evans that same year. Why would an oil company want hopper cars? Because coke can also be made from petroleum. After the most valuable products are separated from the crude oil in the cracking process, the sludge that remains is made into coke with very little going to waste. Petroleum coke is a solid and at arm's length, looks just like coke made from coal. In addition to burning it in blast furnaces, coke is also used to make anodes, pigments, filters and many other products requiring carbon.
