Pray tell how do trains get into that roundhouse??? @Nancy Hart

 

That's a good question, Al. I wondered the same thing, but couldn't find a picture of the entrance. It must have been around the back side. Here's a shot from a different angle, with more tracks.

 

The Roundhouse. It that where they revert the locomotive?

Here is one in rural Australia.

 

Yes. I wonder how they powered the turntable, or whatever you call it, in 1864. Horses? Steam?

I can't find a picture.

 

Shermans boys sure tore that sucker up!

 

The end of the Hindenberg.

 

They sure did. They destroyed the railroad tracks and bent the rails before they left.

Trains never go into a roundhouse. They're only for Locomotives.
