(erielack) Sinclair Refinery Wellsville

I believe the refinery was across the river from the Erie, served by the B&S.

There was some sort of facility at Dyke (east of Preheater), which Steve 
Timko may be referring to.  Never quite understood what it was.  Locals refer to 
it as the gas plant.  

I have a circa 1951 photo of the Hornell engine servicing track showing a 
lineup of Sinclair tank cars next to the diesel fuel tank.

I have other 1940s photos of the way freight, back when it ran between 
Hornell and Wellsville, heavy with tank cars.

Further deponent sayeth not.
