The Morristown & Erie railroad tank was constructed in 1904 in Whippany, New Jersey. It was created to provide water to locomotives, is one of a handful of water tanks still standing today and could function again with some repairs. It was built with a timber frame that was replaced in 1917 with its present brick and concrete base, at a cost of $301.48. Steel rails reinforce the base. The tank is 12 feet 4 inches tall and 11 feet by 12 feet 4 inches wide, and is 12 inches thick with an 8-inch covering. Except for the base, the entire tank remains the same as in 1904.
