Need photo location ID help

[NW Mailing List]

As information, only 6 concrete water tanks have been documented on the 
N&W.  They were very unusual to say the least.

Lamberts Point, VA 200,000 gallon tank

Yadkin, VA 100,000 gallon tank

Wilson, VA 200,000 gallon tank

Radford, VA 200,000 gallon tank

Pulaski, VA 100,000 gallon tank

and Wilcoe, 200,000 gallon tank

In the archives there are photos of Yadkin, Radford and Wilson. In 
addition there are 2 other photos of concrete water tanks that the 
location has not been identified.

The other thing I found about the one at Wilson it had two pump houses.  
Normally tanks were served by only one pump house.
