That, is some serious "lumber cutting", and assembly !! 
The "covered stuff" between the tower and the hoist house, is probably the bucket hoist cables, etc.
I like the CPR sand house. I built one of those based on a 1958 Jack Work Article. more recently, built a modified version of it, with a gabled roof, and the tower, in front of the drying room, instead of above it. Shown here with an Alexander Scale models kit of a 100 ton Coal Tower.
The "Kit" didn't have quite the amount of framing, as your scratchbuild.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
