LOOKING IN THE SQUARE

Water Tank

While driving to another town recently I spotted this water tower by the road in the country. I have no information about it but thought it would make a good photographic subject. Perhaps the railway line ran nearby and this might have been to hold water for the steam engines that used to use the track. Now of course most engines are diesel, though over on our main North/South line the system is electrified and handles large electrically operated and often double-engines which pull long trains with lots of freight wagons.
