John Newhagen: The structure was being used to house broken down grain trucks and other equipment last time I was up there a year or two ago, but the shell, reinforced concrete, is fully intact. My "tour guide," a guy working on his pickup, said it was for sale, but the owner wanted a nearby grain silo included. The nearby Harvey House has been restored and the ATSF station next to it is beautiful and functions as an Amtrak stop. I wonder if the roundhouse could be restored?
Richard Mousner: I think it was being used as a lumberyard when I saw it

This yard evidently used to have two roundhouses. You can still see remnants of the pit wall foundations.
