Frankfort, Indiana roundhouse has made the top 10 on the endangered historic site list in Indiana. Is anyone who is or was connected with this project on this list? Is the roundhouse complete, or was a portion torn down after dieselization? When did it last see engines inside?

According to this, the Frankfort coal facility was to fall in 2002. I don't think it did, but not sure. This website is jumpy, but can be viewed with persistance. Anyone have some old photos of Frankfort, with steam present?

According to the search feature on the Allen County Historical Society's site, this photo was taken inside the Frankfort roundhouse.
