Bob, from the Railroad.net B&M/Maine Central forum:"The roundhouse is gone. The turntable is still there; though the pit is mostly filled in with other tracks built on the fill. The table itself is used as part of one of the layover tracks. I believe I made the last spin on that table. We spun a Sperry car in 1987 using a Speedswing to turn the table. The pit was partially filled in soon thereafter."
