Nostalgia & History > SP Tower Question

Way back around 1971 I photographed this "tower" at Maxwell, CA, along SP's West Valley line. I assume it was an SP tower of some kind based on the color. Does anybody (TonyJ) know what this tower was for, assuming it was actually an SP tower?

Update: Photo(s) deleted because there are thieves on Trainorders who download and then use other peoples' photos in books, or simply print and sell the prints, for their own enrichment!!! I don't mind downloading them for your personal enjoyment but I draw the line at selling them or publishing them and claiming they are yours. Sorry I have to do this but the actions of a few screw it up for all.

My guess is it is a water well building.

Not my type of lodging

This actually showed up on a previous thread but I don't remember what the function really was. Thread title was something about the Colusa Branch, I suspect it was TonyJ.

Here's what happens when you type "colusa branch tony j" into the TO search engine:

Damn, don't I feel dumb now - DUH!!! I posted the same question 5 years ago and had forgotten all about it. That's what I get for just getting back to scanning slides - I forgot what I did way back when. Sorry for the post.

I do that a lot. :-) If it was interesting once, I'll probably think it's interesting again!
