While returning from the Owlshead Transportation Museum about 5 years ago, I spotted this building, and as I recall, it didn't look as well kept then as it does in the photo. Thanks for the update! Good to see a roundhouse surviving into the 21st Century still in RR service. (The Owlshead Museum is highly recommended if you like non-rail transport and industrial history--they even have an Edison Dynamo from around 1880, and various types of steam engines, as well as cars and aircraft dating back over 100 years.) |
