One of unique things is the sloped earthen sides to the turntable pit. This is the only one like it I have seen.

This 1952 aerial shows that the roundhouse used to be 90 degrees. 42nd street is on the left and 36th street is on the right. MoPac had the tracks across the top of the railyard. https://maps.app.goo.gl/rUyvaZAkL3DVZ8aQ7
