water tank?

[NW Mailing List]

The picture was taken at Caples, not Mohegan. From other pictures it appears to be a water tank associated with the coal company rather than the railroad.

The structure at the far left of the attached photo taken at Mohegan, WV, appears to be a water tank mounted close to ground level with some octagonal structure inserted between the top of the tank and the tank roof.  Anyone have any knowledge/speculation about the purpose/construction of this interesting building?
