| Post subject: | Roundhouse Location |
I'm wondering if anyone has any information as to the location of the W&LE Lorain & West Virginia Railways Roundhouse in South Lorain. We have val-maps but they don't show the location. This is one of the things I wish I would have asked Willis McCaleb while he was still with us. I know there is a picture of the water tower but I'm not sure where that was. We know where the foundation for the one at mile post 2 was but not the one in South Lorain. I'm trying to get ahold of John B. Corns as well but hoping to find more people out there with information on this line. Thanks |

First I had to figure out where South Lorain is, (you didnt give a state! ;) but googling W&LE brought it up...Ohio. A roundhouse and turntable shows up on this 1903 topo map.. is that it? http://historical.maptech.com/getImage.cfm?fname=Oberlin03nw.jpg&state=OH Scot |

If that is the one, there isnt the slightest hint of the roundhouse/turntable today: http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=41.447676~-82.144014&style=h&lvl=17&scene=1454613 Scot |
