B&O Glenwood Yard about 1971.
Jerry Swink: My Dad and uncle as B&O and later Chessie System then CSX freight conductors on line from Connellsville to New Castle quite often were in or through Glenwood Yard. They were gone for days on end jockeying between Glenwood to New Castle then to eventually back home to Connellsville.

In case they repurpose the land, this was the Nov 2023 remnant of the roundhouse.

Here is the Glenwood longitudinal shop in 1961.
Timothy Yarnall Sr.: Mike, Glennwood shop was dimensionally identical to Cumberland shop. We took down traveling wall cranes, a trolley and hooks from 100 ton main bay crane, and entire 15 ton crane from their South Bay, brought to Cumberland, refurbished and put in place to live another day. Equipment is still there except the 100 ton cranes (Morgan Cranes). They’ve been renewed with AC 125 ton cranes in main bay!
[A couple of comments asked for confirmation that this was in the Hazelwood Shops, but there were no answers.]

B&O Glenwood Shop, outside Pittsburgh. Nice diesel era picture.
[Fortunately, Tim provided confirmation.]
