| Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted Someone wanted to see a photo of the C&NW roundhouse at Altoona, Wisconsin. Here is such a photo taken by an unknown photographer at an unknown date. The photo is from the John Kamacher collection. |
Saving an image of the roundhouse remnants in case UP ever reuses the land.

Normally, railyards have lost some of their classification tracks. In this case, it looks like the yard has grown.

This must be a major location on the UP system for them to hold a Big Boy open house here.

Duncan Geddes posted the question: "I’m looking for information and pictures of the roundhouse and turntable at Altoona Wisconsin. Does anybody have any suggestions on where I could look?"
Paul Scot August: Here's a video that has some pics of both. At one time back in the 90s both 2719 and 1003 steam locos were in the roundhouse.

| Paul Scot August commented on Duncan's question Found this pic as well. Interior, with SOO 2719 inside. |
