The two roundhouses at the Dubois locomotive shops circa 1920. The “old” roundhouse on the right was built in the 1880’s, and the “new” roundhouse on the left was built to accommodate bigger locomotives in the 1910s. The turntable was 90’. In the distance is the large wooden coaling facility for the locomotives.

It looks like Eagle Railcar Services is now using the backshop building, including the transfer table.
