Hi Marshall;

It was actually National Carbide, and the trademark is prominently
stenciled on the side of a large storage bin/tank. (I have no idea if
that was a precursor to Union Carbide).  There is a bit of a hill
visible in one corner of the photo, but not enough to scream
"riverbank".  The photo is by LL Cook, a postcard, postmarked in early
1941, and offers a good view of the plant and trackage.  There are three
Missouri Pacific quad hoppers with hatched covers on them.  The reweigh
stencil on the closest appears to be 6-40.  Neat shot.  Hoping it was an
on-line Q customer.  ;-)  Rob
