To the left of the control house remnant we can see the bottom of the vertical member that held the counterweight.

I grabbed this one originally because I thought Green Mountain was a tourist railroad. This photo shows that someone is running freight on this Rutland route. I also wanted to catch the remnants of the tower. And then I saw the counterweight laying on the shore of the canal!
