Working rail roads and their tracks.

I've got that one on my list of roundhouses as well. I need to get that thing updated and into PDF format for anyone to read.

Do you have a roundhouse mapped in between Eddystone and Philadelphia along the Delaware River?
There was either a roundhouse or a “turntable” there and my dad always used to show it to me when he was a kid. He grew up in that area and there was a lot of industrial activity there in the 40’s-70’s.
All gone now, but I think the turntable may still be there.…..

I'll have to fire up my windows7 PC and take a look.

So you haven't drank the Win10 Kool-Ade yet either, huh?

Well, I don't have one along the Delaware river between those two towns. The only ones in that area are in Wilmington, DE and Philly.
First picture is the turntable in Philly along the Schuykill River.
Second picture is a wide view of everything I've found in PA. Kinda messy, but there's about 55+ of them so far.

Do you have a more specific location?

No need to as of yet. I was in I.T. for 25ish years. Everything from DOS3 to Windows Server 2012 R2. All flavors of MacOS until 2017. And quite a bit of UNIX (not LINUX, UNIX). I've had enough of computers for a lifetime. I now use an iPad for 99% of my needs, but it can't run Google Earth Pro with the KMZ files I have, nor can it run the historical image feature of Google Earth Pro. So when needed, I fire it up.

Abandoned Places In Northern California: Bayshore Roundhouse

These abandoned places in Northern California, like old roundhouses, are an eerie reminder of how much has changed over the last century.

I have about a dozen turntable sites in that area, but that is indeed the only roundhouse that I can find standing in that area.

There was one still visible in San Jose before 1993.

I'm much happier being a Microsoft stockholder than a user.

At least my 3-rail 'tinplate' trains are 'legacy' and run well w/o digital this or that. btw, this is much of it except for a lot more track and a handful of engines.

As I said before, I have quite a few locations in the U.S.

Appears to be a 2 stall engine house. No evidence of a turntable.
