Thank you for the corn syrup background and the photos.
I did start with the wish to have pressure differential hoppers instead of the grain hoppers and keep the current grain service buildings (may be modified).
When I searched for goods that use pressure differential hoppers corn starch was one possibility. Searching for use of corn starch lead me to HFCS. That sounds good to me because I have also ADM tank cars and a "corn starch to HFCS plant" might be using old buildings earlier used for grain service.
In other words I am searching for new use of the existing building (may be modified) that explains why pressure differential hoppers and tank cars are serving it in 2005 or later.
