The water crane is much plainer than the one now by our tower. Perhaps function was allowed to take precedence over form in the places where it didn't show?

Water Crane in Action
This picture from 1967 shows the locomotive of a southbound gypsum train from Long Meg taking on water in the up loop at Blea Moor. Some climbing was involved as can be seen. In the background are the two water towers at Blea Moor. There is a freight train in the down loop as well. Busy place.
