Night shot, Alco power, GB&W. What's not to like here? At Green Bay (Norwood Yard) on January 5, 1984.

This was there, too, at the same time. One of a kind [paint scheme]. It was never used again.
John Eagan: Indiana Hi Rail murdered that unit.

The foundation of the turntable and roundhouse is still visible.

6-21-86 Green Bay Roundhouse

Dennis DeBruler: An advantage of a roundhouse for railroad historians is that it is hard to remove the foundation and the remnants have a very distinctive signature. In addition to the round walls, the service pits create rectangles in the foundation floor.
