Coaling stations were often impressive reinforced concrete structures that took coal by conveyor from hopper cars, stored it overhead, and dropped it through chutes into locomotive tenders. Some could store 2000 tons of coal, and they often incorporated water towers, sand dumps, and ash handling stations – a “one stop” service lane. Because they were so massive, some rail yards still have them – the coal and ash handling equipment long since removed but the sand equipment still present and the tower still there because it’s too expensive to demolish.
