This is the current location of the then roundhouse. The area is still used for rail storage, tho power of a different kind I might add. [He put North at the bottom. (Satellite)]

I'm surprised this topo map didn't mark its location. Most topo maps do rather accurately depict roundhouses. The 1944 topo map also did not show the roundhouse.
