Ludlow, KY: Southern Roundhouse, Backshop and Railyard

Roundhouse: (Satellite, many of the trees are growing on the roundhouse land.)
Railyard: (Satellite, some of the tracks still exist.)

c1922 Southern Railroad Roundhouse, Turntable, Shops and Yards, Ludlow, Kentucky.

The roundhouse was already gone in 1955. The backshop building has been replaced by a locomotive service building.
1955/57 Covington Quad @ 24,000

The roundhouse was close to Davies Street.
1914/14 West Cincinnati Quad @ 62,500

The foundation doesn't look correct. Note how they have reused just half of the turntable.

I found an image from 2004 before the trees took over. They had removed just part of the foundation.

Judging from a label on Google Maps, the locomotive service building was removed rather recently. Indeed, it was removed between April and October in 2020.
