The tall building is Wiedemann's malt house (A malt house is a building where cereal grain is converted into malt by soaking it in water, allowing it to sprout, and then drying it to stop further growth. ).The two story railroad building is NX Tower. The tower houses the man operating the switches. It's two story not for improved vision, but because that's how high a switching tower had to be to accommodate the switching equipment. Note the Monmouth underpass in the center image. |
