An ethanol facility would be cool.  Most of the corn syrup destinations around here are very simple installations...rubber hoses going into a simple pipe.

There are several brand new ethanol facilities around our area.  I have pics of one of them if you are looking for ideas.

Chuck, I may have more of the Athearn tankcars than the Atlas'es. Have to go count couplers and divide by two. 8)

OK, these aren't the best but here ya go...

This is heading into the yard, which is stub-end.  (I think 4 tracks...)


Same tank and white building roof behind the tanker in the last photo, just a little different angle.


Front side of the end platform spanning the tracks.  The two rubber tire "buggies" must traverse the train and connect to the ground connections?


Backside of previous shot of the platform.
