| William Smith posted This photograph, from a 4x5 negative, was taken from the inside of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad (Nickle Plate Road) roundhouse in Lima, Ohio. On the turntable is NKP road number 500 (renumbered 950 in 1956) a H-5a, 2-8-2 built in 1917. She was the first in an order of ten locomotives from The Lima Locomotive Works which can be seen at the rear of this photograph. This engine was scraped in 1962. |

| Richard Shulby commented on William's post GREAT PHOTO! Thanks for posting! It might be worthy to note that this roundhouse was the 2nd in this location, built in 1918 under the auspices of the USRA when the LE&W was under control of the NYC (1900-1922) before being sold to the NKP. The first roundhouse faced north, and this view is to the south (1950 Sanborn map attached). |
Not only is there no trace of the roundhouse foundation, Lima Locomotive Works is also all gone.
