| Chesapeake & Ohio coaling station |
The reinforced concrete structure, designed by Fairbanks, Morse and Company of Chicago, was constructed starting in 1922.
The 500-ton capacity coaling station serviced all Loup Creek and C&O mainline engines operating through Fayette County. The mainline locomotives were coaled from a track on the north side of the tower while the Loup Creek locomotives were coaled on the south side.
