Coaling Tower Capacity List?

[NW Mailing List]

Jeff,

I got my information from a 1951 N&W document that gave the capacities for the coaling stations.  The two (each different designs) at Prichard and Bluefield were much bigger being 2,000 tons each.

  Bud -



  I got to looking at these a bit more.  Are you sure about Vicker being 250 tons and Farm being 200 tons?  Those structures are much smaller than Bluefield and Prichard.

    Can anyone provide a listing of the capacities of the surviving N&W coaling towers?  I have the information on Bluefield.  Was curious how others such as Farm, Prichard, Auville and Vicker measured up.
