Well this is a little different. When the Connecticut Southern Railroad built the new shop in Hartford. Formally New Heaven hump yard the old sand tower was taking down. Luckily the guy doing the HVAC saved it from being scraped. Fast forward to last year, he was back doing some work on the shop. The sand tower came up in talks and he said we could have it back. He didn’t use it on his property. I have a video on my YouTube. So the tower has made it back to its home. The tower itself is in great shape. I’ll have to do some work on the ladder cage. All new piping as well. It’s nice to have a piece of history back and to be able to work on it.
