Pueblo, CO: D&RGW Roundhouse

Roundhouse: (Satellite)


Jeff Ramsey posted
The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad roundhouse in Pueblo just before the Arkansas River flood of 1921. The roundhouse and machine shop was built in 1906. Colorado’s only roundhouse that was nearly a full circle at 49 stalls.

You can see how some of the stalls were longer than others.

There have been several posts of the fourth (final) D&RGW roundhouse at Pueblo. As far as I know, this is the only picture of the second roundhouse, made of wood. I just happened to come across it in a magazine from 1904, which states this picture dates to 1879. It also says the building labeled "3" is the old union depot, but I believe it is actually the old D&RGW depot, not the first union station that was located off South Main Street (the second union station that stands today is two blocks west of the first union station).

The D&RGW went North, West and south of Pueblo.
