Throwback Thursday - My Best Guess

This possible scratch-building project was photographed on February 03/91 in the CN yard at Brantford, Ontario.

By Peter Mumby.  

This interesting trackside structure was photographed in the CN Brantford yard in early 1991.  I don’t recall ever being informed of its specific use;  my best guess is it was used to hold heating oil for caboose furnaces.  There are no signs of an electrical connection, so it must dispense the fuel by gravity.  The roadway access is probably used by tank trucks employed to fill the high-mounted tank.
