Rob Meyer: My dad used to talk about a roundhouse on the north side of Jacksonville, I guess it was this RR.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Rob's comment
The roundhouse was gone by 1941. But the foundation shows that it was just south of Walnut Street extended. There is now an apartment complex built on the former railyard.
