| Skipper L Swartout posted #9499 PENN CENTRAL at the roundhouse year 1972. I don’t know the Location. Neo Haven: This is the Charles St. Roundhouse in Providence, RI --- long gone and covered by a highway. The building section on the right is the machine shop and on the left are the remains of the old roundhouse which had been severely reduced in size.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Rick' post Note only did the streets get moved, the railroad got moved. I included the state capitol at the bottom and the dam near the upper-left as fixed points between 1935 and now. 1935 Providence Quad @ 24,000 Whoops, the dam is not a fixed point. Today's dam is further upstream. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Rick' post [AR1W00000060026] Likewise, I included the dam near the top in this Oct 17, 1941, aerial photo. One of the roundhouses is already gone, but the one with the coaling tower on its service lead still has all of its stalls. The early removal of a roundhouse reminds me that the NEC is electrified. |
