Some of the foundations of the backshops are still visible. But I found no trace of the roundhouse.

Robert Roebling: 3 “E-7”s, not long for the world — today only 1 left (PRR) at the rail museum just across the street from the Strasburg.
Dan Vaughn: The Ole Beaver Street tower, long gone. Looks like the train is on FEC track #30
