| Edward O Pollock III posted Abandoned BAR coaling tower, Oakfield, ME Charles Kuefler: Wow, I had no idea that there was a coaling tower still standing in Maine. Thanks for posting! Andrew Toppan: Charles Kuefler there are 5 coaling towers in Maine. [But he left the other four as an exercise for the reader.] Tim Shanahan shared |
It is nice to see that at least some forest products are still shipped by rail. That is a long 8-track railyard for such a small town. Are all of the brown areas around that town clear-cut forest land?
