Leo -

I don't know if you been eating some of "Turtle's" brownies or not, but since I hired-out before you and have worked most all of the assignments at Mendota, post 1969, I do not recall from that point onward, there ever being a "round house" building at Mendota. Yes, there was a turntable but no RH. There was a a RH office/bunk room there, but no RH. I would imagine a RH did exist sometime previously, but not in our era.
I have seen pictures of the Mendota RH in the steam era, but that was long before you and I hired-out.
