## Product outlets
- pipeline: Gulf State Pipe Line Company, Inc. (GSPL) connection to an unnamed third-party petroleum products pipeline — SHR's wholly owned subsidiary GSPL owns and operates pipelines that connect the Silsbee facility to (1) a natural gas line, (2) SHR's own truck and rail loading terminal, and (3) "a major petroleum products pipeline owned by an unaffiliated third party." The third-party pipeline's name is not given in the source; given Silsbee's location near Beaumont/Port Arthur it could plausibly be Colonial or Explorer, but this is inference, not fact -- do not treat as confirmed.
- truck_rack: South Hampton Resources 55-acre rail and truck terminal (Highway 92 Sales Rack) — A $7.2 million expansion of this truck rack was completed in January 2015 to support export business and toll customers. The company's Silsbee location page lists distribution by rail, truck and iso-container. No IRS terminal number is listed for Silsbee.
- rail: South Hampton Resources 55-acre rail and truck terminal (Highway 92 Sales Rack) — Rail loading is at the same 55-acre terminal as the truck rack. The company's Silsbee location page lists rail among its distribution modes. The serving railroad is not named.
