The design is a general-purpose, non-insulated, non-pressure tank car. The Atlas model recreates two major saddle variations (Type 10 and Type 20) and two top platform variations (one- and two-piece). The more common products carried in this tank car were tallow, animal fat, fuel oil, diesel fuel, vegetable oil, soybean oil, fertilizers, lubricating oil, waste oil, and glycol.

Some product features include: Detailed five section non-insulated body, two saddle variations (Type 10 or 20), detailed top platform with two options (one- or two-piece) and see-through end walks.
