Coke was used as home heating fuel in New England up into the 50s until it was supplanted by oil. Glendale Coal & Coke was a large retailer where I lived.

Somebody may have already posted this, but there is a series of 40-odd *color* pictures on Google/LIFE titled: "Trainscapes 1950: View from a train window." A number of RELEVANT frieght shippers are featured, as well a steam era fright car or two. One in particular was this Koppers Coke retail facility. Who would buy coke on a retail scale? http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?q=trainscapes+1950+source:life&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtrainscapes%2B1950%2Bsource:life%26hl%3Den&imgurl=e67ae0d61d79f076 KL |
