George Sillett General Great shot, sad to see it like that. 1/22/2012 7:51:50 PM
Geneva Short General Amazing that it's still up at all...must be built to last (like so many things were "way back then") - thanks, Fred, for showing us this. I'll bet there are a lot of beer bottles inside those structures! 1/22/2012 9:56:21 PM
Stu Nicholson General The railroads built these things like battleships. Much easier to let them stand than to try and knock them down, since many of them (like this one) are near active tracks or mainlines. 1/22/2012 11:03:10 PM
John Danielson General Awesome shot of a once important structure! 1/22/2012 11:38:39 PM
