I work at a feedmill and we buy the one of the by-products of ethanol, corn distillers which by the way is shipped to us via rail.

This site should be of intetrest if you are building a model of an ethanol plant. You can follow the construction of a real ethanol plant.

These hoppers come to the various feed elevators around here all the time. I am guessing they are carrying distillers grain.
