TRAINS' List of Roundhouses: Updates and Corrections?

Trains Magazine General Discussion

As bonus materiel, Trains’ editors had a list compiled of existing roundhouses:

Unfortunately for my friend who compiled the list, he didn’t manage to get them all. I’ve already pointed out four omissions to the editors, and I believe there may be more:

Escanaba, Michigan, ex-Chicago & North Western

Wells, Michigan Escanaba & Lake Superior RR, 8 stalls, still in use by RR minus turntable.

Clarkdale, Arizona, Arizona Central RR/Verde Canyon RR, 8 stalls, in use as car shop by RR (3 stalls), minus turntable

And they added the ex-El Paso & Southwestern one in Tucson that I mentioned to them.

In addition, there may be a roundhouse or two on that list that may have been demolished. They didn’t include the one in White River Junction, Vermont, ex-CV, that burned in late 2008; I understand only a couple walls remain.

Here’s another list from the NRHS, for those who want to cross-compare (the Clarkdale, Arizona one isn’t on either list):

Neither list shows the IHB at Hammond. I was in it about 4 years ago…not sure about now.

Huron, South Dakota is listed as standing, but it’s still being used by the DM&E.

The listing for Chester, MA, should be B&A (Boston & Albany) instead of B&M.
