Was the coaling tower that use to exist at the former L&HR yard at Warwick, NY a Fairbanks Morse design and, if so, was it similar in appearance to the coaling tower that use to exist at Hudson yard?

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

Were the creameries generally on the RR East or RR West side of the L&HR?
