Verona, PA: Pennsy Roundhouse

(Satellite, it was north of Center Ave, between Allegheny river Blvd and today's Anchor Drive.)

I had trouble correlating the 1946 map with today's satellite image, so I also got a 1950s map.
1955 New Kensington West Quad @ 24,000

Unfortunately, it accurately depicts that the roundhouse was removed in 1950. So I used a new "transparency" feature to depict both of these maps together. That made it easy to find the roundhouse with today's street pattern.
