A coaling tower, coal stage or coaling station is a facility used to load coal as fuel into railway steam locomotives. Coaling towers were often sited at motive power depots or locomotive maintenance shops.[1]

Coaling towers were constructed of wood, steel-reinforced concrete, or steel. In almost all cases coaling stations used a gravity fed method, with one or more large storage bunkers for the coal elevated on columns above the railway tracks, from which the coal could be released to slide down a chute into the waiting locomotive's coal storage area. The method of lifting the bulk coal into the storage bin varied. The coal usually was dropped from a hopper car into a pit below tracks adjacent to the tower. From the pit a conveyor-type system used a chain of motor-driven buckets to raise the coal to the top of the tower where it would be dumped into the storage bin; a skip-hoist system lifted a single large bin for the same purpose.[2][3] Some facilities lifted entire railway coal trucks or wagons. Sanding pipes were often mounted on coaling towers to allow simultaneous replenishment of a locomotive's sand box.

As railroads transitioned from the use of steam locomotives to the use of diesel locomotives in the 1950s the need for coaling towers ended. Many reinforced concrete towers remain in place if they do not interfere with operations due to the high cost of demolition incurred with these massive structures.[1][5]

Existing Coaling Towers

The sortable tables below list existing steam locomotive coaling towers, coal stages, coal docks, coal chutes, and automatic loaders with the following information when known:

  1. Place name where the coaling tower is located.
  2. State, province, or county in which the coaling tower is located.
  3. Railroad for which the coaling tower was originally built.
  4. Year in which the coaling tower was built.
  5. Type of coaling station: tower or stage, chutes, dock, automatic loader.
  6. Capacity in tons of coal which the coaling tower was built to store.
  7. Builder or designer company.
  8. Remarks: whether the tower is adjacent to active tracks, name of the railroad yard, similar towers, number of tracks the tower was built to serve.
  9. Geographic coordinates.&91;2&93;
