Beautiful 138 year old water tower along the Illinois Central in Kinmundy,Il. This is between Centralia and Effingham. The plaque says it all - amazing the area was still using it till 2000.

No big deal, but the correct terminology in railroad talk is usually "Water Tank". Victor Baird Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/04/23 14:49 by wabash2800.
