| Post subject: | Re: Marshall, Michigan roundhouse: damage? |
I was looking in the file in the archives where that period photo came from, and pictures of an accident involving some structural damage to a wall were included with no description. It appeared like a whole stall was knocked down. Seems like roundhouses were prone to damage from overshoots or creeping engines. |
