This large double track coal tower sits across the Grand Trunk Western (now CN) between Trowbridge crossing and the GTW station on the east side of the City of Lansing.
The coaling facility offered sand, coal and water. It was filled by an elevator from cars on the north side track.
This tower still exists as of 2022.
