Roundhouse: (Satellite)

| Rick Shilling commented on a post Former Pere Marquette/Chesapeake & Ohio Wyoming Yard, Grand Rapids, Michigan. |
The 2005 SPV Map labels the long white building area as a car shop. It appears that it is now being used by a steel distribution company. It is nice to see industrial building repurposed rather than left to rot. They have 160,000 sq ft of humidity and climate controlled warehouse space. [steelpro] Note the roundhouse foundation just east of the former car shop.

| Greg Bunce shared When scanning this slide of the C&O's Wyoming Yard Diesel Shop in the Winter of 1974-75 , I noticed for the first time how many different models of locomotives there are in this photo. From right to left, a GP40, U25B, unidentified EMD switcher, a GP35, GP9, GP7 and three GP30's. Except for the switcher the Chessie paint brush still hasn't reached them yet. There was much more variety 45 years ago. Steven F. Shick: Ahhhh the good old days. Up until about 15 years ago this is pretty much what the Wyoming diesel house looked like most weekends. All the locos from Lansing, Holland, etc. would make their way up here for fuel, sand, light maintenance, etc. Now they don't even fuel power here. They do it in the service track by the east tower or at the ends of the yard. Jonathon Leese: Steven F. Shick most of the tracks in this picture have been removed. |

| Andy Gras posted Wyoming Yard, Grand Rapids, Michigan. OK, so here is another shot of Chessie's undesirables in 1986. Now I am on the catwalk overlooking the yard looking west. There are a few switchers in this lashup that I think I seen before in service. |
Marty Bernard posted four photos with the comment: "And Where Was Duane Hall? 4 Photos as Hints." [He was in this yard.]

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's "gone now" comment Yes. It appears that it was about here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DULSoDQ1x6gi7YAJA. And the water tower was a little east of the coal tower. 1947 aerial with a scale of 37,400 |
