Millen, GA: Coaling Tower

Gary Miller posted
Millen, GA coal tower
A comment indicated that Fairbanks-Morse "engineered and built quite a few coaling towers."  What has amazed me is that coaling towers are like snowflakes --- no two are alike. And if one company is building quite a few of them, not having some standardization of the designs is even more puzzling. The FM coaling towers I know of  were in Centerville, IA and Montfort, WI.

I could not find the tower on a satellite map. My 1928 RR Atlas indicates that Central of Georgia and G&F served Millen.
