Sandusky, OH: B&O Roundhouse and Big Four/Indiana, Bloomington & Western Shops

B&O: (Satellite, the tracks came up along Warren St.)
Big Four: (Satellite, the land has been reused by the water reclamation plant.)

Tim Starr posted two images with the comment: "Sandusky, OH had two pretty unique repair shop setups in the 1880s. One was a B&O roundhouse that also served as a boiler shop, machine shop, and carpenter shop. The other was the Indiana, Bloomington and Western repair shops that had an unusual two-turntable arrangement. Both these maps are 1886."
Neo Haven: A transfer table was more common.

The NYC tracks on the far left under the Nickle Plate tracks was the Big Four. B&O went North until it got to Warren Street, and then it followed Warren Street to the lakeshore.
