Aerial view and historical photos of the B&LE Roundhouse in Greenville, PA. was in use until 2006
Scott Whitney: Went there in 1980 when the steam was still stored inside. There was a LOT going on in that shop at the time!!! Link to my folder of images from that day:

John Blotnick commented on Ian's post
Just as important, Backshops and Transfer Tables, as this table looks like its still in operating condition.
Ian Black: @John Blotnick, the yard remains active as part of the Bessemer & Lake Erie RR.

Daren Genau posted four photos with the comment: "Greenville PA. Bessemer & Lake Erie 3-30-2025."
John Blotnick: If those are recent photos then it looks like the roofs have been repaired.

I labeled these notes as rrOther because it never became part of a larger railroad by 1928.
FMI: the city also has a canal museum.
