    If you're ever in Evanston Wyoming. They are fixing up one as a museum a little at a time. Salt Lake City had one for Denver and Rio grande. Ogden Utah had one for U.P.R.R. and I've seen a KZread video about one in Alaska that's out in the woods and the turn table is still around and can be rotated buy pushing it with one hand while walking. I've always enjoyed the look of them. The only other one Ive seen in person was in Austria and the building was in excellent condition but the railway was nolonger useing it.

    My great grandpa was born and raised in Lexington North Carolina, he told me during 1945 when he was 7 or 8 years old, his family walked miles to see the FDR Funeral Train pass by Salisbury and he claims he witnessed a soldier, a marine, a sailor, a coast guardsman, and an airman standing beside of President Roosevelts casket. It's outstanding to hear such a story from your own kinfolk.

    The only time i see cabooses at the end of long freight trains nowadays are just at the state borders for long hauls. Other places they use a caboose once in a blue moon not too often. The deliveries they make are local runs. That's probably why you don't see cabooses that much anymore blah. Jim Openshaw is a licensed railroad engineer. He told me he drives freight trains from Delaware to North Carolina. Thêre is still one caboose at the end. I gues if they still use cabooses are just for long hauls and shoving platforms in the convertion yard. Nỏt for local runs.

    In Newell Pennsylvania there’s an old Pittsburgh and Lake Erie roundhouse that’s now used by an adjacent industry for storage. There’s another old roundhouse about 100 miles north of there that’s now used by a local industry for storage.

    Google Earth/Maps are good tools to see where roundhouses were. Usually what is left is the concrete floor. Additionally Sanborn fire insurance maps provide additional details where none is visible today.

    My grandfather, Harry Hill, worked at the roundhouse at 2nd Street and Erie Ave. in Philadelpha, PA. My grandmother said he drove the first steam engine over the Rocky Mountains. If this is true, I say one of the first. He knew Buffalo Bill Cody well and my aunt dated his nephew, Frank Cody. I love trains, it must be inherited. Can anyone tell me more?

    I used to sing this song with my friends in the back yard during the '70s. When I reached the last verse and sang "...he may leave you and never return," all of the ladies present would shout their approval!
