Terre Haute, IN: CSX/C&EI Baker Yard and Roundhouse

(Satellite)

The yard is in the lower-right corner of this 1958 topo map excerpt.

Don Murray posted four photos with the comment: "Four pictures my father took in Terre Haute Indiana of the C&EI. The first picture is labeled Locust Street 1948. Also the old roundhouse and Baker shop."

Neither the 1941 nor 1948 Quadrangles @ 1:24,000 show any buildings in the yard. This is unusual because both show black squares for houses. HistoricAerials shows the roundhouse was torn down and the wye was added between 1949 and 1962. The roundhouse was north of the shop building.

I saved a satellite image since the building will disappear.
