Manchester, NY: Lehigh Valley Coaling Tower and Roundhouse

 (Satellite, I could not find the coaling tower)

 According to a USGS map, the railroad is now owned by Ontario Central.

Chase Withrow: It's on the national register. Let's hope work continues on the site. It's an uphill climb with this one.

I was not able to find the coaling tower. But I noticed that the roundhouse is still standing.

Daniel Dovideo: Dennis DeBruler the Roundhouse is still there, I will post a couple pictures of it. [Added to these notes below.]
The coal tower is gone. That picture is from the 1970s I believe.

Daniel Dovideo posted four photos with the comment: "Former Lehigh Valley roundhouse at the Manchester NY yards. There have been several failed efforts to save it and/or repurpose it.  Made of poured concrete, it will probably be there  until the end of time... interesting how you can still see the turntable bridge like a sunken ship in a harbor."

Richard Shulby: With the C&EI facility in Villa Grove, IL just having been demolished, that leaves us with 203 standing and 2 additional derelict properties in the US. Out of upwards of 3,100 existing at some time in the past...
