Here's a photo of Currie, Minnesota taken about 1910 so the reverse of the photo says.  Currie is a small now non rail village located in far southwest Minnesota just to the northeast of Slayton, Minnesota. Look at all those "prairie cathedrals."

There was never a roundhouse here, just the turntable. Because it was the end of the line, the locomotives had to be turned.
