I remember my Grandparents using "Bottle Gas" (propane) back in the late 1940's before the arrival of natural gas pipelines. I also remember large propane tanks at the local CO-OP in the 1950's that were used to fill propane trucks, which then made local deliveries to refill household tanks. I'm certain the propane for the large tanks arrived by rail, but do not recall ever seeing the cars it arrived in. How was propane transported by rail in the '40's and '50's before the large propane tank cars started coming on the scene in the 1960's? Ron H.
