Grand Trunk & Western coaling tower, Lansing MI, 2006
Bekohlunganlage der Grand Trunk & Western Railroad. Dieses massive Betongeb?ude wurde seinerzeit zur Bekohlung von Dampflokomotiven benutzt. ?ber das linke Gleis wurde die Anlage mit Kohle versorgt, welche von Bodenentleerwagons per Eimerketten in die Bunker gelangte. Obwohl diese Anlage wohl schon seit 50 Jahren nicht mehr benutzt wird, ist ein Abriss wegen der massiven Konstruktion wohl nicht praktikabel.

Coaling tower of the Grand Trunk & Western Railroad. This massive concrete structure served in its time to supply steam locomotives with coal. From the leftmost track, the facility itself was supplied with coal, which dropped from hopper cars onto a skip that filled the bunker. Although this structure has not seen any use for 50 years, a demolition is probably not practical due to the massive construction.
