John,

 

That was a bulk oil dealer. Most likely products were gasoline,diesel,fuel oil,kerosene,etc. It was these types of bulk dealer/distributors that often received multi-compartment tank cars so they could receive from two to five different products in one car. At one time there were many,many hundreds and bulk dealers and thousands of multi compartment cars. Pretty much gone by the late 50s. Standard Oil had a pipeline terminal at Rochelle and from there UTLX tank car were distributed all over the Midwest.

 

I was told by one old timer of a car moving from Rochelle to the dealer in Shabbona back in the day.

Would anyone know what type of  fuel that the Q would deliver to Somonauk? There used to be large tanks that sat on concrete supports and there is an old transfer pump in a shack. It sits on the south side of the ROW. 

Thanks,

John Shoener
