This railyard also had a car shop. I presume the rectangular building on the backside of the roundhouse was the car shop.

[Don Pope's photo was taken after they removed the western half of the roundhouse. A comment on Jerry's share provides a 1956 aerial photo that shows the partial roundhouse. But that photo is copyrighted.]

20th Street was added after the yard was abandoned.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Jerry's share
It is obvious where the turntable pit was because it was filled with dirt that the trees like. It appears the trees do not like whatever was used to fill the service pits except for the most recently filled pits that were on the east side.
