Local brewery would get corn syrup by the tank car. It would have a spur that could handle 3 syrup cars. There was wash equipment to get the road grime off then a rubber hose connection. There may have also been some steam heat from the main power plant to help the syrup flow. It's been closed since June and we have some industry locally still taking corn syrup though I haven't figured out which one. It might be our local micro brew but it seems that what I see in the local yard is more than they could consume. Lately, the local yard crews have been setting up as 1 4-bottom grain car, 1 corn syrup tank car, with a repeat of three to four times. There have also been some syrup corn consists spotted in Puyallup, WA. Maybe some one local up there can post what industry is using it there.
