Re: (erielack) Suburban Propane/Richfield Springs

Thanks for the input Pat, much appreciated. That at least confirms that this
type of tank car could and did traverse the branch line. That being said,
it's far from beyond the realm of possibilty that cars lettered for Suburban
made their way to Richfield Springs. Horseheads or Richfield Springs may
have been the destination for the car that Paul spoke of. One can only
wonder! Hoping to hear more on this topic!

were receiving propane in the large 33,000 gallon tank cars.  I used to
drive through Richfield Springs on my way to and from school at SUNY Oneonta
and would usually see one or two tank cars in that siding.  I don't recall
seeing tank cars lettered specifically for Suburban Propane (but I do recall
seeing them in the propane siding in Horseheads).
