Roundhouse: (Satellite)
 |
| Fred Harvey/Mary Colter Fan Club posted WInslow Arizona is more than Standing on the Corner! It's the home of the last Harvey House built to extend the reach of the Indian Detours and an overnight destination when planes could fly only during daylight. The Eastside roundhouse and machine shops completely burned in 1895 but were rebuilt. The A & P Railroad went bankrupt and was reborn in 1897 as the Santa Fe Pacific Railway under Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe control. The ATSF purchased Santa Fe Pacific railroad property in 1902, adding it to the Santa Fe System. Then in 1913, the Santa Fe Railway began a major expansion on the west side of Winslow that included a new roundhouse, machine shop and power plant as shown here. The east side facilities were then demolished. This roundhouse lasted until recently. The correspondent who mailed the postcard in 1918 wrote on the front, “The train shoke [shook] so much I can’t write very good.” (Winslow: The Meteor City Is Still In Motion) The Santa Fe Railway power plant in Winslow, Arizona. Dennis DeBruler: I wonder if photos taken with phones will survive as a record of history into the next century as well as post cards have survived into our century. |
The pits have been filled in, but you can still tell where some of the stalls were located.

The style of this topo is quite modern looking for a 1954 production.
