Jud Powell The backshop area survived into the early 80's

According to Historical Aerials, the roundhouse was just east of the backshops. The roof in the background on the left would be part of the backshops.

You can still see vegetation growing in some of the service pits. And the rails for the transfer table are still in the transfer pit.

Steven Molinaro: Locomotive is preserved at the Waynesburg County Museum in Pennsylvania. They had it operational in the 80’s. It is well taken care off. It was used on the Waynesburg and Washington RR. Allot of the roadbed still exist along with bridge remnants and the station in Washington. They also have one of the passenger cars they are restoring.
