Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank
Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank, Railroad water tank in Beaumont, United States.
The wooden water tank rises 40 feet above ground level with eight supporting piers and holds 50,000 gallons within its cypress stave construction.
The St. Louis, Wichita & Western Railway constructed this water tank in 1885 to supply steam locomotives during their regular routes through Kansas.
The National Register of Historic Places registered this transportation structure in 1993, marking its role in American railroad development.
The water tower provided essential services to steam locomotives until 1955, then shifted to supplying drinking water for Beaumont residents until 1988.
Local residents formed the Friends of the Beaumont Water Tower group in 1989, purchasing the structure from Burlington Northern Railroad Company to ensure preservation.
