| Dennis DeBruler commented on James' comment Was it the rectangle that was between the tracks and next to the roundhouse or the rectangle that was north of the little yard? 1937 aerial photo |
 |
| Richard Fiedler answered Dennis' question I believe it’s in the left wye with the roundhouse to it’s back. I copied this Sanborn fire map from a post about Roodhouse from a few years ago in this group. James Roady: richard you are correct |

The 1937 aerial photo above confirms that the roundhouse had a flat side.

Kendel Robinson: This is where it splits or did St. Louis, Kansas City Springfield right? Stan L. Maddox: Kendel Robinson yes. In this photo, the line to Godfrey and points south is on this side, the Jack Line to Jacksonville and Bloomington is on the opposite side, and the turret points toward Kansas City. |
