As we speak, the Southern's Pomona roundhouse (Greensboro, NC) is being demolished by D.H Griffin demolition crews. That leaves only Asheville and Spencer as NC's sole surviving SR roundhouses. Matt Bumgarner PS: Why is a roundhouse round? So the mechanics don't take a piss in the corners! (Related to me by an 89-year old conductor of the Carolina & North-Western). |

What was the roundhouse used for and what is the Asheville one used for? Joshua |

The Greensboro/Pomona roundhouse for years was leased to a paper or paper recycling company. The Asheville Roundhouse is still used by Norfolk Southern as a diesel shop, sans turntable. IIRC, only 3 or 4 bays have tracks. Matt |
