Train Engine House with 6 stalls - Feb 13, 1903.
William Emerson: Illinois Central 6 stall roundhouse located at approximately 15th and Madison. The C&IM roundhouse was a 10-stall roundhouse.
Charles Call: It's hard to believe that this was turned manually after releasing brake mechanisms.

Illinois Central

Dennis DeBruler commented on Dustin's share
That area of Springfield has changed a lot since this 1939 aerial photo was taken. The IC roundhouse is in the lower-left corner of the photo. The C&IM roundhouse is in the center about a block and a half down from the top of the photo.
