The fire swept the roundhouse like a wind storm. Much the collection was destroyed, including extremely historic equipment. Much of the more modern steam power was serviceable. To liken it to an American site, imagine the B&O Museum leveled by a similar conflagration.

What has happened since? Were all the engines a total loss?
