ROPEWAY TOWER
T1975.65
The top section of an aerial ropeway that pulled ore from the Pomeroy shaft to the Oroya Brown Hill treatment plant. Thought to have been made in Germany. Ropeway tower. This has been erected. It is heavily pitted and some of the ste structure has corroded, other parts are bent. There is only one rope runner. Probably nothing can be done with this.
