April 4, 2018 – Evansville Western Railway local MVL01 backs past the CountryMark Co-Op LLP Refinery at Mount Vernon, Indiana as it makes a drop off of some tank cars.
The refinery was built in Mount Vernon in 1940, shortly after a local gusher well was discovered nearby. The farmer owners who built the 2,000 barrel-per-day refinery had a vision of energy security and independence, and a commitment to manufacture high quality fuels.
The refinery processes 30,000 barrels of local crude oil per day, operating 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. It brings to the market 450 million gallons of finished fuel products per year. It is a supplier of market-leading energy products and services for farms, fleets and families in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. – #jimstrainphotos #indianarailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #evwr #evwrrailway #evansvillewesternrailway
