| Tim Starr posted The Southern Pacific shops at Sacramento were another of the "legendary" railroad sites, known for manufacturing many high quality locomotives over a period of decades. This is a view of the machine shop around 1895. At this time the machinery was driven by belts and shafting from the central powerhouse. (California State Railroad Museum Library and Archives) |

Description: From the Sacramento Bee Collection: Aerial view looking northeast toward the active shops of the Southern Pacific Railroad in early 1959. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA Douglas Lowing: Great photo. Where is the entrance to the turntable, through the long building, through an engine stall, or between the buildings? Bob Chaparro also posted Albert Vogel: At one point in time this was one of the largest industrial complexes W of Miss River. Colin Henderson: Was there a transfer table between the shops to the right of the turntable? Looks like that's the only way....? Robert Schell: Colin Henderson yes Michael Shaun Morris: Are they gonna tear it all down? John Lira: Michael Shaun Morris everything that hasn't been torn down already is staying.

| Richard Shulby answered Douglas' question Primary access was through the gap on the near side of the roundhouse, although there was also later access through the rear of the first 3 stalls to the left of that per the attached 1915 Sanborn map.. |
