Kinder Morgan Barge Transloading Facility As of 2024 Now = Superior River Terminals Indiana - SRTI Ohio River Mile-post 597.2 - Indiana Port Authority Port of Indiana – Jeffersonville - Clark County - Indiana Monday_28-July-2014
The Big Tanks of Tanco Clark Maritime
Photo taken from the Truck Loading Zone on the South-West side of the big Kinder Morgan building; the Ohio River is behind me and I am looking North.
The big tanks belong to Tanco Clark Maritime, a bulk liquid handling concern; one of their services, of many, is to transfer bulk liquids into 55-gallon drums.
The left/West/smallest tank measures 68.5' across the top; I have no means of measuring the height.
The right/East/larger tank measures 111.25' across the top; that's BIG; a barn that long is a big barn.
There are two of these larger tanks.
Saturday_16-April-2022 Satellite View shows two more tanks similar in size to the smaller one in the photo; plus, a smaller tank, about half the size of the smaller tank in the photo, for a total of six tanks.
Entering the photo at left is the Liquid Transfer Pipeline that carries liquids to and from barges on the Ohio River.
The elevated section passes over a rail spur that serves the Cronimet Corporation Scrap Metal Yard; if you look close, you can just see the roadbed and the rail-head.
For a better look, see Satellite View at these coordinates: 38.318104° -85.666125° 139.2936 m 457'
In the bottom-right corner is a curtain-sided flatbed trailer with some guy in a green shirt preparing to load some of those rusty wire coils that are prevalent around this place.

Thanks. Your coordinates were spot on. Looks like a well-maintained facility. Thanks to you also as I appreciate your interest.
Looking at the Satellite View, the model railroader in me wants to duplicate that entire area in HO scale.
