I am reposting this from Trainorders.com:<p>24/03/00 18:32<br>No More LA Redondo Roundhouse<br>Mojave Vik<p>Attention all fans of L.A.'s famed Redondo Roundhouse, as of april 11, stalls 1-11 will be torn down in favor of a longer P.M. line. 3751 will be evicted and re-located. and in two years the rest of it will be torn down in favor of a new devlopement. It eass built in 1906 bu the Santa Fe for a western facility to service<br>engines. today, it is used by AMTRAK for their western facilities, and soon will no<br>longer be. It can be saved but only by someone who cares. the concervancies around L.A. do not seem to care. It qualifies as a land mark, but only you can save this Famed L.A. treasure. make your contacts, call friends. If you care, it can be saved. there are only a couple weeks left. please save it.<p> M. V. <br>

It is unbelievable that this publicly-owned (Amtrak)facility, the last Santa Fe roundhouse complete with turntable, might be destroyed without a whimper of complaint from the preservation community, even the group whose steam locomotive once called it home. Meanwhile, in nearby Fullerton, folks are making plans to build a new roundhouse and railroad museum.... Go figure...<p>We've had an editorial on Redondo pending for some time, but have held it up for lack of a good steam-era photo. Pentrex formerly sold a very good wide angle shot of the roundhouse, and we hoped someone might e-mail us a JPEG of it for the editorial. But despite several requests, no one responded with any of the needed photos. Guess that shows how much we as a group really care about saving such irreplacable pieces of history....<br>

I will get a shot of it and send it to you.<p>Jeff B<br>
