Bob Yarger: Does a portion of that roundhouse still exist?
Gary Schroeder: Bob Yarger They just tore the last part down because it was becoming unstable.

To the west of the roundhouse is the various tanks they need to store fertilizers and "cides" ("innovative fungicide, pesticide and herbicide products formulated to defend against pests and disease." [SimplotGrowerSolutions]).

McCook is on the BNSF/CB&Q mainline between Chicago and Denver.

The oldest detailed topo map is 1970, and that is not old enough to show the roundhouse.
