“FLAT ROCK ROUNDHOUSE” ... this is an old drawing that was in a hardbound book a friend of my Dad’s gave me when I was 5 years old. The book was published in 1947.
Bob Stefanski Orren Thomas Jr. Do you remember the track names? Looking from the turntable left to right...
Orren Thomas Jr. Bob Stefanski #8 - #1.
Mike Cade Very cool I work on the turn table tracks a lot. The round rail the table turns on broke and a few inches broke out and Ray Barns and I welded it back took a while.

1985 coming in to Flat Rock yard from the south.
Kenny Cook I remember a flat car sitting there with one truck removed to be used as a ramp at the end of one track. I'm assuming for the maintenance dept.
Thomas Simpson No cars in the yard anymore, like a dust bowl, been that way for yrs now, no jobs , nothing left.

CN's Flat Rock terminal one of the larger yards in the area. A view from the hump tower looking South into the main bowl. Several road trains and local jobs originate and terminate here which makes for a pretty active yard. This shot was taken with permision.
