The water supply tower of the Wolsztyn railway station (Poland)

The water tower at the Wolsztyn railway station was built in 1906-07. It was intended for quick and constant filling of steam locomotive tenders with water through winch filling stations, located at the depot and line access points in the station area. During the construction of the tower, the standard project of the water supply tower of the railway station, patented by the engineer Oto Inze, was used. Towers of this type are a common phenomenon even in present-day European and Polish railway junctions. Now this tower has survived and is preserved only as a monument of technical architecture, since the need to fill tenders with water disappeared along with steam locomotives.
