Experiminte for juice to California. Temp was to be only a few degrees lower than left Bradenton Plant. I heard it worked but it didn't continue. They later removed the Tropicana lettering and herald and reporting mark was then TPIX 6000 in 2002. It was UTLX 200788 in 2001. I'm almost positive it was the same car. Only saw each one once in Tampa on the Juice train.

Here are the 2 proto type tank cars that I believe are the same car with the 2 schemes for Tropicana. The UTLX 200788 was taken on 11/03/2001 and the TPIX was shot on 10/08/2002.
