Car Shop: (Satellite, extant)
Depot: (Satellite, the corner of the existing building is cut off because the depot was in the way.)
Erie Lackawanna Railroad Historical Society posted two photos with the comment: "To follow up on yesterday, here are two pictures of the Lackawanna's Kingston Roundhouse. This was a full service engine terminal with coal bunker, water tower, sand and light repairs handled. Unknown photographer, taken in the 1930s or 1940's."
Erie Lackawanna Railroad Historical Society posted This June 21, 1939 Penn Pilot Aerial view shows the Lackawanna roundhouse in Kingston, PA and the turntable. Looks like many steam engines around the pit. To the left across Main St is the Car Shops with many freight cars awaiting repair. That building still stands as an antique mall and model train store. Duane Hester: Roundhouse was torn down in 2005. Greg Stubbe: Erie Daniel C Carroll Jr. shared |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Greg's comment I'd agree with Lackawanna. 1949 Kingston Quad @ 24,000 |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Daniel's share One can still see traces of the turntable wall and the foundation. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.2635974,-75.9033439,158m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu |

Jack Davis: You can see the outline of the roundhouse from Google maps. The rail line (known as the Bloom) was torn up years ago. The round stood for many years afterward.
Erie Lackawanna Railroad Historical Society: The middle section of the Bloomsburg branch including this yard was not conveyed to Conrail. The track was taken up and the right of way abandoned. The east and west ends had customers and remain in service to this day. The roundhouse stood for many years and was a beverage store. It continued to deteriorate and was demolished around 2005.

Tony Bishop: Handsome engine, but I cannot tell the wheel arrangement because the pic is underexposed. Is it a 2-10-2?
