Wheatland, PA: Lost/Pennsy Roundhouse

(Satellite, Yourga Trucking has reused the land)

Rick Fleischer posted five images with the comment: "The Pennsylvania RR. roundhouse at Wheatland, Pa. Wheatland is located just south of Sharon, Pa. on the E&P Branch. This roundhouse stabled many kinds of PRR steam power, even though it only had four stalls. One of those classes of steam power kept here was the G-5s locomotives used for the daily Sharon to Pittsburgh commuter train that lasted up to 1952. These pictures were taken about 1974. Today, this roundhouse is gone. Drawing courtesy of Rick Rowlands, pictures myself RKF."

It was yet to be built in 1908, and the next available topo map is 1994.
