The plant consists of pipe lines connecting four wells, with storage and settl ng tanks, which are connected with load ing racks on two lines of railroads, one on the Kansas City Southern and another on the Sabine nnd East Texas (Southern Pacific sj stem). The pipe lines are laid so connections can be made with the pipe line of the National Pipe Line Company to Port Arthur and the pipe line to Sabine Pass.
