What stands beside the station track
The water tower is viewed from a low angle, making its supporting shaft and elevated tank appear especially tall. A railway track runs past it and continues into the distance. Tufts of grass grow near the track, a line of trees marks the horizon, and clouds appear on both sides of the tower.
Interesting facts about railway water towers
Water towers once supplied steam locomotives, which consumed water while producing the steam that powered their machinery. Raising the tank allowed gravity to create pressure and move water through a pipe or delivery spout. Many surviving railway towers are preserved reminders of the era of steam, even where modern trains no longer need them.
