Please ignore my previous reply, attempting to jest with Jim about
straying into a seemingly unrelated topic, and Kenneth, thanks for
the traffic info. I've been looking about for evidence that either
plant ever had any rail access. Like Bluefield Yard, the greater
Bluefield area straddles two water sheds, thus the need for two
sewerage facilities, apparently neither with enough volume to rate
a spur. The newer Westside plant (BTW, left of the bridge below)
is a tertiary facility and Ada appears to be a retrofit. However,
in the 1950s, what supplies for sewage treatment plants were
likely hauled in by what type of rail car and transferred to truck
at the local freight station or team track?<br>

Sewerage plants require chlorine which is generally
shipped in by rail. Depending on size of plant could be
switched twice a month.</span></font></div>

Power plants if they draw water from a natural source
(river/lake) will also use chlorine so there is no algae
build-up in the condenser water box. Depending on plant
and season, more in the summer than wither chlorine cars
would come a few times in summer and once in the fall.
Note in winter.</span></font></div>

In Detroit we have the worlds largest single site sewerage
plant. They get cars of chlorine and sulfur hxxhohide.
Because there is a 1,000 foot discharge tunnel to the
Detroit River they inject chlorine as the water leaves the
plant and halfway down they inject the sulphur hexofloride
to neutralize the chlorine before it enters the Detroit
River. This is a Conrail DSAA switch.</span></font></div>
