orders being taken for tank cars with Kelso's BOV?Is Kelso's BOV already on the market, or at least implemented/included in future orders? I think their tank-car-of-the-future includes the manway too.

https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/energy/2014/10/141031-rail-industry-safety-oil-standards/ In February, Greenbrier introduced a beefed-up tanker with a 9/16-inch steel shell (1/8-inch thicker than many DOT-111 cars), 11-gauge steel jacket, removable bottom valve, and rollover protection for fittings along the top of the cars.
Greenbrier calls the tanker the "car of the future," saying it's eight times safer than the DOT-111. Isselmann said Greenbrier has received more than 3,000 orders for the new car and plans to double its manufacturing capacity by the end of the year.
