    Neat photos, guys. Is that Thurmond coal tower in as bad shape as it appears?

    Thanks Bill, it's at Thurmond,WV.
    The roof is in the worst shape, the rest is in good shape.

    Why is it still standing? Would it be a big pain to demolish? Or some other reason?

    I think the state park owns it. That's all I know about it.

    Ah. So perhaps it is a historic site or landmark. That would be a good reason.

    Top photos, all of them.
    I see some nice scenery ideas in the Thurmond pic, especially the little dirt road that winds through the trees.
