I cannot reconcile this photo with a 1951 aerial photo because in the photo there is a street, not a track on the backside of the roundhouse.

| Scott Griffith posted know not B&OCT but Garret roadhouse , some of us worked out there. Rick Kessler My Dad always said that the reason he never went on the road was because he had my Mom here near East Chicago and then he would need a girlfriend out east. Two women would be just to hard to juggle..... |

| Richard Shulby commented on Michael's post Apparently the "old" or 1st roundhouse. Here's a postcard of the "new" roundhouse presumably from 1915- design details would support that date range. The old one was apparently just west of the new one, per an index map (no detail) on an 1895 Sanborn map. Thanks for posting! |

| Rick Shilling posted Undated Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Roundhouse, Turntable, Shops and Yard at Garrett, Indiana. Dennis A. Livesey: The date would be a few years after steam. That would have been about 1957. So maybe 1963? Brent Bierce: This area looks very dirty even for a railroad. My grandpa worked for the B&O and retired CSX in 1987. He always talked about how the B&O equipment was never taken care of. He said they loved getting stuff in the Chessie era from WM equipment because they took care of their equipment way better than the B&O. [There are several comments about the polluted ground.] |
Your information is not quite accurate the roundhouse was said to be expanded around from 21 stalls to 32 in 1918 said in newspaper to be largest on b and I and then in 1933 cut down to 18 stalls most but one stall used for inspection was demolished that was completed Jan 23 1964 the debris was burned and it caused a power pole to catch fire and fire dept had to be called as well the newspaper that day stayed at one time had a 200 ton locomotive lift from whitting Corp for changing wheels faster then using drop pit the picture of it was used in railway age magazine in 1924 or so I believe it was on the last stall the newspaper said in 1918 when expansions announced
