Most railfans see the locomotives. I see the coaling tower. (birds-eye view has bad resolution of this tower.)

| Timmithy Leary posted I understand how it was used to load coal into the Tenders. How did the tower itself get loaded? Why the tall straight tower on top? They generally used skip hoists because they could lift the material up a steeper incline and reduce the footprint of the coaling station. This UP/C&NW tower in DeKalb, IL still has the housing for the hoist and the unloading pit. |
