That would've been Brockway Glass, which was located south of 85th Ave behind Longview's corrugating plant. Brockway received loads of sand used to make glass bottles and jars. It closed quite a while ago (like, 15 or 20 years ago), no longer has a rail connection, and the buildings and property are now an impounded auto storage yard. If you're car gets towed in Oakland, that's where it goes.
