09/29/2021 - CSX Q573 with ST70AH 8900 leading solo upfront with a DPU buried in the consist pass under the old coaling tower at Lebanon Junction, KY, on the CSX Mainline Subdivision.  This is certainly a reminder of our past of when coal was king on this old L&N line.

Austin Hall: What was that structure?
Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp.: This is the concrete base of a large coal tipple.
[Whoops. I don't like the term tipple for a coaling tower. Tipples are in coal mines.]
