I understand nowadays only corn syrup is brought to these plants (and it's been probably like this for decades). We also know there was a shift from real sugar to other sweetener in soft drink industry since a few decades. I'm just trying to see if there was more commodities coming by rail in the 70s. Unfortunately, my prototype was modified. They installed a multiple-bay truck loading area where the rail were. Impossible to figure out if boxcar loading bays existed back then.
Thanks again.

Boxcars could bring in 100# bags of sugar,bottle caps and maybe new bottles but,new bottles would be a long shot due the transit time..
