Capable of coaling four steam locos at once when operational, the concrete tower at Carnforth shed is now silent and cannot be used. It had two coaling roads for the locomotives and a third for the wagon hoist used to fill the bunkers and these are now used to stable WCRC coaching stock. Usually viewed from the front (wagon hoist) elevation this view was taken from the south west side and shows the access ladders and operation areas.
