Hi Chris,
I remember watching a YT video about Coca Cola bottling plant, and I think it may have been in Louisiana, and the interesting thing was that the unloading area for the corn syrup tank cars was actually a two track by two or three tank cars long annex building to the bottling plant with windows in between. It meant that the tank cars could be accessed safely [dry] in any weather and at any time of the day for staff and ingredient security. I remembered it clearly because I had read the MR article on a Corn Syrup transfer industry and so when I saw the tank cars inside at the CC plant I made a mental note of it as a potential modelling variation.
The name of the video was something like "How Coca Cola is made". There are several similar sorts of videos so it may take a little searching to find, but it could make for a very interesting cut away building on your layout.
Plus you can stick it to the nut and bolt counters who might say that tank cars are only unloaded outside.
Hope that this helps provide an interesting addition to your display layout.
