PRR's Renovo Coaling Tower

Tom: I jthough i just read somewhere that the tower was added to the states historical register and was not able to receive state funds for it's restoration.

I hope they save it. Not many of these coaling towers left.

Rick, 

 Good question. I've seen conflicting or unclear stories about the state's involvement. Here is the article that The Keystone piece was based on: http://www.lockhaven.com/news/...lvania-at-risk-list/ The secondary headline clearly says the state (really commonwealth) will help, but it does not elaborate in the article (at least that I saw). The good news is that apparently being labelled as being "At Risk" by the non-profit group seems to be a win-win. However, I thought East Broad Top may have had a similar type of status.
