Thanks Brian, that's very interesting. I don't think there was a sugar
refinery at Brooke ave. so I don't know how the molasses got there or left the
site. I found a photo of the tank online and it said it was 500,000 gallons and
built in 1918 for the South Gate Molasses company. I was thinking about adding
a similiar tank to a layout i'm designing but don't know if the molasses was
shipped out or in or either by railcars? ....Regards, Dave Branum
