Imperial Oil, Ltd. (1920-1951) |
BackgroundImperial Oil, Ltd. listings date back to 4/1920 under IOX reporting marks, Transit Co., Ltd. listings date to 1/1920 under TCLX reporting marks. BMMX (meaning?) and CSGX (Cities Service Gas?) reporting marks added to Imperial Oil, Ltd. listings by 4/1927. PRPX (meaning?) and SUPX (Supertest?) reporting marks added to Imperial Oil, Ltd. listings in 7/1928. COBX reporting marks added to Imperial Oil, Ltd. listings by 4/1938. By 10/1951 the Imperial Oil, Ltd. and Transit Co., Ltd. fleets had been amalgamated, and it is likely that just about any reporting mark could be found on any series by this date. In 10/1953 nearly all cars were transferred to Products Tank Line of Canada and were renumbered to UTLX reporting marks, but the BMMX mark was retained by Transit Co., Ltd. for a small fleet of narrow gauge tank cars and not eliminated until 4/1973. In 10/1957 the IOX reporting mark was returned to Transit Co., Ltd., and would remain in use until its elimination in 10/1975. The remaining reporting marks were phased out by Products Tank Line of Canada as cars were renumbered: COBX in 4/1959; CSGX in 1/1958; PRPX in 7/1958; SUPX in 1/1960; and TCLX in 4/1960. Note: Determining series limits of these cars has proven very difficult because of the varying nature of these fleet's listings in the ORER. Later series (numbered 3000 and up) are probably quite accurate, lower numbered cars are not nearly as certain. Reporting marks denoted in the notes are believed to have been assigned to particular series based upon ORER listings, but it is entirely probable that other marks may have been applied to any given series as well. | Imperial Oil, Ltd. data has been taken from the following ORERs (MM/YY): 4/1920-5/1920, 8/1920, 7/1921-1/1922, 1/1923-2/1923, 5/1923-11/1925, 1/1926-9/1927, 12/1927-8/1928, 10/1928-5/1929, 7/1929-11/1929, 4/1930, 7/1930-11/1930, 1/1931-7/1932, 7/1934, 7/1936, 7/1937-4/1938, 10/1938-7/1940, 1/1941-4/1942, 4/1943-7/1944, 1/1945-4/1950, 1/1951-10/1951, 1/1956, 7/1956-10/1956, 4/1957-7/1957 & 10/1957-1/1975.
