CILX 90-93 & 450 series

CILX's 90-93 & 450 series were the unusual TMU cars. Built in lots of single cars from 1931 to 1945, these cars were essentially stripped-down flats designed with cradles to hold 15 one-ton canisters of chlorine. Although all five cars were still rostered at the time of the UTLX takeover in 1956, by 8/1960 only four cars were listed as UTLX 80000-80003.

Although it is not certain, it is believed that UTLX 80003 is the former CILX 93.
