So I thought maybe I could pose the question "Is the AMOX #9465 one of the oldest "bottle on wheels" tank cars in America? The oldest from what I can gather would be the 1918 NWP#MW 849 at the Northwestern Pacific Railroad museum in Campo, Ca.The AMOX was built in 1919 ...
And I point you at a possible reference to a car built in 1918, which might also be relevant to Charles Hardy's question, and your comment is only
As usual, a general question being answered by people who have no real intention of helping, but rather of showing off their own knowledge.
What answer were you expecting?
At this point I'd have to wonder that if anyone were reckless enough to actually comment on older tank-car construction, the other thing your original post was asking for, they'd only be accused of showing off that knowledge. I agree that digressions into newer car construction are a bit excessive... but you could have gently steered the discussion back on track instead of responding as you have.
