Railroad Yards, Then and Now

The historic sand drying tower (Sand Tower) was used by the railroad to store and dry sand.  The sand helped give locomotives more traction.  This is one of the buildings you will be able to see (and compare with the historic photo) on the Railroad Yards, Then and Now walking tour.
