The Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M) was using a milk car with glass-lined steel tanks in 1910. Pfaudler designed what became a standard milk car with two 3,000-US-gallon (11,000 L; 2,500 imp gal) tanks inside a closed car.
The pipeline and all milk handling systems are cleaned after every milking session using a washing system that first rinses out the remaining milk and then flushes cleaning solution through the piping to kill bacteria and remove milkstone, a layer of scale mainly formed by cations like calcium and magnesium.
A historical milk tank car for bulk loading at the Illinois Railway Museum. A milk car is a specialized type of tank car designed to carry raw milk between farms, creameries, and processing plants. Milk is now commonly chilled, before loading, and transported in a glass-lined tank car. Such tank cars are often placarded as "Food service use only".
PBCFR shared their tongue-in-cheek report of the incident: “A milk-truck had an ‘udderly’ unfortunate crash on I-95 last night just after midnight. 11 people were evaluated on scene.
The sale of raw milk is outright illegal in nearly half of the country. And many states that do allow the sale of raw milk also include the caveat that it can only be purchased directly from a farmer.
Each unit of a double-stack car contains a single well; they often are constructed with three to five cars connected by articulated connectors. The intermediate connectors are supported by the centerplate of single trucks, often a 125-short-ton (112-long-ton; 113 t)-capacity truck but sometimes a 150-short-ton (134-long-ton; 136 t)-capacity one.
