The land scar of the roundhouse still exists. (Feb 2025 update: I'm glad I saved the image because when I accessed the link in Feb 2025 they foundation had been cleaned up and a building put on the land.)

Milwaukee Road roundhouse at Ottumwa, Iowa.  The original post said this was from 1979, but I hired out in 71 and don't remember this many stalls left standing.  Deb Renner collection.

2016 Google Earth Image is the best shot showing the remains.

Milwaukee Road Ottumwa, Iowa roundhouse interior.  I think circa 1980 or so.  I have no photo credit.
