When I saw this, I immediately thought of Walthers "Interstate Fuels" kit.  The overall small footprint would make this customer fit on just about any layout.  Even if this is not an active rail customer today, it could still make for an interesting addition to a model scene.

Here's all there is of the place.  The tanks and most of the piping are still intact.  Off to the right are remnants of a foundation, possibly of a small warehouse.  One of the tanks has a logo for Standard.

There are six tanks, of two slightly different styles. Those of one style have supports of a different shape from the others.

This end provides a view of the piping.

More piping.  Note the relationship of the pipes and gates.

Last one.  Here's what's left of a platform, still with some hoses.  Note the shopping cart at right too.

Nice photos

Nice pictures. The piping details will be especially useful to anyone that wants to build a model rail served or not and in just about any era as well.

thanks

Fuel Depot

If you can give us the exact street location, we can "Google Earth" or visit USG survey maps, and see if their was a rail connection. You are correct in thinking it is similar to the Walther's interstate fuels.  I have this kit just waiting to be install on my layout.

Finding the Fuel Depot

Is as easy as following the tracks. Old Indian trick.

Complete with street names.
