Lyndonville, VT: Lost/B&M Roundhouse, Backshops and Railyard

Roundhouse: (Satellite)

Photo of a neat enclosed roundhouse from the Library of America. Unfortunately the caption says "unknown place, unknown railroad, unknown year, unknown photographer." All that's known is it's from the W.H. Fletcher collection. (Edit: Brad Buck figured it out - Lyndonville, VT. Mystery solved!)

Agreed- the surrounding buildings also match the location per attached George W Hastings stereocard image c1870s.

Holy smokes, you found it! Very nice. I'll send an email to the Library of America.

Agreed. It is early Lyndonville, VT. Recognized it immediately, because I used to operate through there! Look carefully at the main brick shop building in the middle of the post image and compare it to one shown here toward the lower right.

Absolutely Lyndonville, VT. I used to run trains through there. Looks like 1880s or so. Shop complex looked like this up until Canadian Pacific leased it long term from Boston & Maine. The empty area to the right of the shops is where the enclosed roundhouse was. A new one (off map) was more to the right.

The roundhouse was even with Charland Street.
