Brandon Bartolotta posted two photos with the comment:
Looking for more (if any) photos and info on the PRR Perryville, MD roundhouse, built in 1918. So far, all I've found are these two images of the front and rear (sort of) from the Cecil County History facebook page. Thanks in advance.
Note: I'm specifically looking for the roundhouse itself, not necessarily the Forge/Machine Shop that was along the back side of the house.

Most topo maps do a pretty good job of marking roundhouses. But not this one.

| Bill Kalkman posted SUNSET! You're looking southward from the MARC commuter station platform at Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Perry Tower (long out of service) is on the left and Norfolk Southern's lead to their Port Road Branch is on the right. 4:33PM on 1-25-25 in Perryville, MD.

Since this is a Pennsy signal, I don't understand why we don't see either 3 horizontal yellow lights or 2 horizontal red lights. [Dennis DeBruler]
I got even more confused when I zoomed in because I don't see a middle light at all. The vertical and diagonal aspects should use three lights. I guess, in this sun, some of the lights are invisible because they don't catch a glare.

Depot
While looking for the tower, I discovered that the depot is labeled as a railroad museum. But it may not be much more than a couple of baggage carts on the platform.

Pennsy used the same depot design in Northumberland, PA.
