Millinocket, MA: Bangor & Aroostock Coaling Tower and Roundhouse

(Satellite, note the shadow of the tower)

A nice view of the skip hoist.

The old locomotive facilities of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad at Millinocket, Maine; including the coal tower, turntable, 3 stall roundhouse, and a CP caboose. November 2, 2001

To my surprise, at least part of the hoist and safety ladder still exists. Normally, the metal parts would be stripped long before Eric's 2001 photo.

Dennis DeBruler: It is so unusual to see a coaling tower that still has its metal pieces. This is an excellent view of the skip hoist.
