  A working coaling tower is a major asset to have back in opporation.

  I love the fact that you added the I-beams to the coal dock in case the rails are ever re-laid.

  It's amazing how the restoration isn't just going to the Locomotives themselves and the stations, but what also what made the railroad function like the Coal Dock here and the water tower at Saltillo

  Passed that coaling tower one trip on the East Broad Top, it’s a magnificent structure! Glad to see it’s in use again! Who knows, maybe next a coal mine will reopen on the East Broad Top (probably not lol).

  Great work, now is the Incline going to be put back also?<br>What I am wondering, Since I don&apos;t think you guys get coal via Hopper car any time soon,<br>why didn&apos;t you put a 6 feet long and as wide as the shed a steel plate infront of the doors for the coal tipple at ~30-40°<br>so you <br>A, have no ground contamination in the coal.<br>B, easier to get the coal all the way in the Tipple.

  Awesome work guys getting the loading dock going again ❤<br>One question, could the roof of the protective building be redesigned, maybe be put on rollers to slide out of the way to allow for the semi truck to dump directly into the bunker?
