These are awesome photos and I want to thank everyone for sharing. If I had one suggestion, it would be to better note what large towns these tipples are near. So many of these locations have multiple names that even I can’t keep up – and believe me I really get around. Also, would anyone know if Rob Vaughn is still around? His Guide to Appalachian Coal Hauling RRs is unmatched.
