JNR TaKi 3000 tank wagon

The Taki 3000 is a 30-ton tank car for transporting gasoline that was introduced in 1947 by Japan's national railway. The first 50 cars were owned by JNR and used to transport fuel for the Occupation Forces. After 1952, private owned variants were mass-produced and owned by many owners, and became a popular oil tank car in Japan after WWII. Some of these vehicles were used to transport fuel for the U.S. military in Japan.
