Richlands coaling tower?

[NW Mailing List]

On the other side of the railroad overpass on the right side there appears to be a white "concrete" structure that appears to be shaped like the Vicker coaling tower. If it is then what is the structure the hopper cars are sitting on?

It’s still a puzzle, because in 1950 there was a large concrete coaling tower at Vicker which still stands.

Jim -

That is a westbound train at Vicker, VA just west of Christiansburg.

Is this taken at Richlands VA?  No location on description but all of the Southern equipment makes me think this is either headed to or coming from Bristol.
