Silver Grove, KY: C&O Stevens Yard and Roundhouse

Railyard: (Satellite, the land has been repurposed by a company that manufactures building supplies.)
Roundhouse: (Satellite, because a building has been built over the roundhouse land, I can't control the location of the pin. But it is pretty close to the turntable's location.)

#2101 in lead. Bottom: C&O Stevens Yard Roundhouse and Turntable, Silver Grove, Kentucky. 1979 fire pretty much destroyed this Roundhouse and #2101 that was being stored there at the time. This Roundhouse was located approx. 12 miles East of Cincinnati on the Kentucky side of Ohio River.
Chase Withrow: That isn't the Silver Grove roundhouse. Silver Grove was about 3 stalls right next to the river.
