Question: Was it ever larger than the four stalls in both pix? BTW, at the moment both the 4449 and 700 are steamed up in that very building, together for the first time in a long time.

Jim,

The current building is the "new house". It was built in the 40's for the larger power. There was an old brick 13 stall Roundhouse to the west of the current building. The brick wall foundation is still visible in the dirt. It was torn down in the 60's I think.

Yes, it is nice having two hot 4-8-4's, at the same time, in a Roundhouse! Both went for spins on the turntable for the media today.
