Greetings,

Today I went to World's of Fun, which turned out to be very fun, but very hot. On my way to the park we drove down Armour (BLVD, ST., etc.--I can't remember). I was surprised to see a roundhouse and turntable (possible backshop too) used by the Norfolk Southern as a car shop. It appeared to have approximately seven stalls and was is good shape. Can someone shed more light on this?

A little bit darker now than earlier,

It's the old Wabash roundhouse (what's left of it), which N&W merged with in about 1964. It is, indeed, used as a car shop.
