37: A view from almost the opposite direction. The pro-
pane tank and unloading platform are at left. Between
that platform and the pump house is the pipe and
coiled unloading hose for tank cars. The fuel and water
cranes are part of the Shumala engine terminal.

38: This is the Chooch kit for a bulk oil facility, though
I have added the warehouse at left of center as a
scratchbuilt structure. The kit contained three tanks,
two of greater height than the third, and a suitable
pump house, all to be built on a base which includes
a berm to surround the tanks. Note I have spotted a
Union Oil tank car in front of it.

40: This dealership has four vertical tanks, three of the
same size and one taller, with an interesting arrange-
ment inside a berm. A truck loading platform is at far
right, behind the warehouse. – Author photo.

39: This Standard Oil dealership has three tanks, all
horizontal, one of them quite large. There is also a
building to house the warehouse/office, and a pump
house. – Author photo.
