| Ted Gregory posted Built for a different time. The C&O coaling tower at the rail yard in Glen Morgan, WV still stands and dwarfs the rail cars sitting in front of it. I have difficulty fathoming the amount of business that the railroad must have had that required a coal dock of such proportion. Also, the facts that 1) it still stands approximately 70 years after the last steamer filled its tender here, and 2) I am guessing its probably around 100 years old, just speaks volumes on the engineering and construction of the railroad back in those days. |
This tower is rare because it still has some of its metal parts.
