Manhattan, IL: Wabash Coaling Tower

Richard Fiedler Comment on Bill's posting
low pass aerial photo allows me to locate the tower on the 1939 aerial photo below with a red box.

See Junction Tower for more railroad info about the town.

Update: Richard Fiedler posted some pictures that I have not seen before.

When Paul Krueger shared this photo, he commented "You can see the CM&G/MILW cutting across the background."

In this view we see the coaling tower to the right of the round tower.
