I finally finished Sam Kings nice story on the last of NdeM steam. When was the Valle de Mexico roundhouse built? I seem to recall 1960, is that correct? That would have made it the last roundhouse built in North America, save for the recent recreations.

I think 1957 is correct. The roundhouse was built as part of the same project, and at about the same time, as the hump yard at Valle de Mexico and Buenavista station. Yes, it has to be the last one built.
