"sand_tower.jpg" - image/jpeg, 1527x1302 (256c)

Ah ha! Looking through my photo collection I found this shot taken by a
friend of mine in 1968 that shows where the covered hoppers were unloaded in
Croxton. But how did the sand get all the way over to the towers at the
right? Underground pneumatic system? Is it that stand to the right of the
hoppers?

And what was the purpose of that little shack under the old coal silos?

Thanks,

- Paul
