Modern ethanol tank cars have a 30,000-gallon capacity. Most tank cars
are owned by railcar leasing companies. Many are leased to the ethanol
producing companies and carry their company logos. Fuel dealers, small
refineries and other industries receive single cars and small blocks of cars
that are mixed into freight trains. Large gasoline refineries may receive
100-car unit trains several times per week.
