They were also built with single, double and triple domes. However, none of these variants were more numerous than the basic 10,000 gallon, single-dome version. From the 1920s onwards Union Tank Car (UTLX) fielded the largest fleet of tank cars in North America, and the 10,000 gallon X-3 accounted for nearly 13,000 of them!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic X-3 was used to haul fuel oil, gasoline, vegetable oils – essentially any liquid that did not require special handling features.
