Darling International

Darling operates a fleet of over 700 railcars. Tank cars are in the 20,000-25,000 gallon range, leased from UTLX, GATX, NATX. Covered hoppers are built by Thrall and leased from NDYX. Tank cars are used for tallow and greases, and the covered hoppers are used for the meal.

Islington Station makes Darling-Delaware decals in HO - Walthers 54' funnel flow is a great match for the UTLX cars. You can use the MDC car for the GATX and NATX cars.

Accurail makes a painted version of the Darling International covered hoppers but it being an ACF Centerflow, it is the wrong prototype for the Thrall-built cars.

If you operate a modern meat packing plant or poultry processor, a Darling tank car or two would be appropriate. Use the location list above to route your car for processing!
