Jamie Elliott posted three photos with the comment: "L&N Boxcar at the old Huntsville Railyard and Roundhouse. Huntsville, AL."
Randall James: These 60 footers built by Pullman Standard's Bessemer Alabama assembly plant, usually carried auto assembly parts, I've got 2 in HO scale made by atlas models.

Jamie's comment implies this was an L&N roundhouse. But the railroad that went next to the depot was Southern. And the only other railroad in town was the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis. It is amazing how much the roads have changed since 1950.

The roundhouse is now an event space. I presume the Grand Hall is in the depot. They also have an outdoor venue called the Constitution Hall Park.
