Here is a wintertime shot of the Wabash Railroad Montpelier Ohio Roundhouse, probably in the sixties.

At the bottom, you can clearly see the land scars for three stalls. And in the upper-right corner you can see an arc from the old turntable.

I believe the building fragment on the left is the roundhouse. The coaling tower would have been about here. The depot still stands.

Update:  Note the older cars in this photo. I assume the two story building is the depot because it has the awning to protect passengers from the rain and snow. The one story building in the background was probably a freight house. I wonder when these buildings were torn down and replaced by the current building. Neither Goggle nor Bing have street views from Depot Street.

It looks like this photo has the new one built between the above two buildings and the two story building is still standing.
