Manhattan, IL: Wabash Coaling Tower

Richard Fiedler Comment on Bill's posting
low pass aerial photo allows me to locate the tower on the 1939 aerial photo below with a red box.

See Junction Tower for more railroad info about the town.

Update: Richard Fiedler posted some pictures that I have not seen before.

Wabash coal station. Elevator. Manhattan IL
When Paul Krueger shared this photo, he commented "You can see the CM&G/MILW cutting across the background."
[The near grain elevator is along the Wabash route, and the elevator behind the coaling tower is along the Milwaukee/CM&G route.]

In this view we see the coaling tower to the right of the round tower.

Richard Fiedler posted and shared eleven photos which are probably copies of the photos on this page and the depot photos.  (If he has new ones, please flag them in the comments.)
