Redbank “The Sleeping Giant” Coaling Tower During the era of steam-powered locomotives, trains traveling this railroad corridor stopped at the Redbank Coaling Tower to fill their tenders with coal to fuel their engines. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company began construction of this coaling tower in 1928, and it was placed in service on February 8, 1930. The tower was constructed of concrete poured into wooden forms made from locally cut timber. The lines from the wooden forms are still visible in the concrete. Coal from nearby mines was delivered to the tower in hopper cars. The coal was dropped into the pit, then carried by conveyors up into the reservoir above the tracks. It was released into chutes which directed the coal into the tenders of the waiting trains. This coaling tower was used until 1957 when diesel engines replaced the last of the steam engines on this rail line. Armstrong Trail @ Rimersburg, Pennsylvania
