Marty Bernard posted Northern Pacific Depot at Staples, MN in October 1976, unknown photographer slide donated to the Iowa Chapter NRHS. Google shows the building is still there in good shape. Harold J. Krewer: Still a stop for Amtrak. |
You can see two different generations of roundhouse stall remnants.

I first checked out a 1962 photo because it was of higher resolution. That is when I realized there was a smaller roundhouse west of the main one.

So I looked at the oldest photo that was available to see the main roundhouse. But I still could not find the turntable for the smaller roundhouse.
