Ashtabula, OH: NYC Roundhouse #104 and Water Tank #113

(Satellite)

Rick Fleischer posted five photos with the comment:
The New York Central roundhouse at Ashtabula, Oh. no dates. This roundhouse served the West Yard, mainline, Youngstown Branch, and the branchline to central Pennsylvania - the old Jamestown & Franklin. The last picture shows the roundhouse site, pretty much as it looks today.

Dennis DeBruler The track that went straight through the roundhouse is interesting.

[In case CSX sells this yard also, and a developer reuses this site.]

 I see on a satellite image that the roundhouses of Pennsy and NYC were within about a couple blocks of each other.

Dan West posted two photos with the comment: "Here is the New York Central RR Reclamation Plant in Ashtabula. The complex occupied 50 acres on the north side of North Bend Road just west of U.S. 20 (Prospect Road). This was the main building, but there were others there as well. It was a car shop in 1919 when the photos here were taken, but was converted into a reclamation plant in 1937. It was originally built around 1914. It was one of the two largest reclamation plants in the US, employing 400 laborers in its heyday."

Harlan Rinto posted three photos with the comment: "Turntable operators, N.Y.C./L.S &M.S. Ashtabula Roundhouse, June, 1919"

[I believe the first photo is new. The images in the comments are definitely new.]
