I have been in a discussion with a couple of people about surviving roundhouses (also turntables, and engine houses not of a wedge design, or wedge shaped engine houses with a ladder instead of a turntable) I thought we had a thread on surviving roundhouses but can't find it (we use the word "roundhouse" with some frequency... making a search difficult) Any ideas where one might find a list? (or lists) Randy |

One that's often overlooked, perhaps because of its gauge (2ft): Phillips, ME: SR&RL ("The Old Stone Fort"-- a reconstruction on the original foundation) https://www.google.com/maps/place/Phillips,+ME/@44.8281749,-70.3448253,250m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cb10cfc499734d5:0xe47ce7a78877692b |

There is a turntable and small roundhouse at the California State R.R. Museum, although I am not sure whether it is a modern build or not. There are some videos of it being used on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdlmW67yLLQ |

44. Not a roundhouse, but an enginehouse: the Mount Rainier Scenic has a 2 stall enginehouse from one of the logging companies, although I can't remember which one. 45. B&O roundhouse, Cleveland, Midwest RY Preservation Society 46. CP roundhouse, Toronto, Toronto RY Museum 47. Grand Truck Pacific RY/CN roundhouse, Biggar, SK, unoccupied, future uncertain 48. MILW roundhouse, Wanasha, MN 49. MILW/CP roundhouse, Davenport, IA 50. MILW roundhouse, Harlowton, MT 51. CP roundhouse, Vancouver, now the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre 52. Great Western RY/Michigan Central enginehouse, London, ONT 53. CN roundhouse, Hornepayne, ONT. What's different about this roundhouse is that the turntable is located inside the structure. |
