Answer 10

Wheel burn

Question 11

A deformation of the tank, head or shell it is caused from impact with a relatively blunt object. The sharper the radius of the curvature of this, the greater chance of cracking

Answer 11

Dent

Question 12

Hey, deformation in the shell of a railroad tank car it is actually a long dent with a gouge at the bottom of the N-word dent. This can occur circumferentially or longitude in relation to the tank shell. The longitude ones are the more serious.
