Found this photo. Just found it an interesting contrast. This is where the 614 was turned when it was last running. http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?august02/08-17-02/Erie_yard-PortJervisNY-turntablefront-081102.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

The caption indicates that the roundhouse stood where the empty supermarket is in the background. I distinctly recall in the early 70's the roundhouse as being exactly where the photographer was standing when this photo was taken. Notice the concrete floor. To the left of this vantage point was the coaling and sanding facilities and, last time I was there, sets of burbling GP7s and GP9s. On the other side E-8s stood ready for assignment, and a tattered Phoebe Snow boxcar being used for storage nestled alongside the roundhouse wall. Bill staybolt@bellsouth.net |
