| Reid McClure shared Tate Skinner's post of 56 photos, many of them show a flood |
The photos also show a hump yard. According to a 1966 aerial photo, the hump was a little west and north of the roundhouse footprint and the bowl was off to the east.

Given the kind of parts I found in parst storage lots around the yard, I concluded the buildings were a car repair shop. (Note the MoW equipment being stored on a track near the top of this photo.)
This ODOT news release confirms that it is a car repair shop. ORDC = Ohio Rail Development Commission. The only clue I found for the date of the news release was "Pre2013" in the URL for this page.

The roundhouse footprint we see today is a small fraction of what it used to be. It looks like it used to be a full circle.
