5. This 1963 photo features 2017 LP Gas Hall of Fame inductee Bill Young working on a test project that Industrial Gases performed with U.S. Steel Co. to deliver hot tar in rail tank cars. The tank cars had liquid feed propane burners to maintain tar at about 300 degrees Fahrenheit while in transit. This was one of various systems that employees tested at Industrial Gases, for whom Young worked.
