  Hello All,

  I am working on a project on the historical evolution of water purification techniques by chemists and railroad personnel in the early to mid 20th century. In addition I am also looking at the architectural changes in railroad water tank design and construction in wood and steel (and hopefully concrete). Does anyone know if any of the N&W concrete tanks are still standing and could be studied and photographed? In the past I have studied photos of some of these unique structures in the N&W archives. Any information about concrete structures that are still trackside would be greatly appreciated. 

  Contact me either through this list-serve or off list if you like.
