Hi All,
I've uploaded the following images of the BCR&N / CRI&P roundhouse,
enginehouse and freighthouse in Burlington.
The first image is a copy of the 1900 Sanborn Insurance Fire maps showing
the BCR&N turntable and roundhouse at the top and the B&NW & B&W facilities
below.

The second image shows the turntable and roundhouse:

The third image shows the turntable and enginehouse after the roundhouse was
removed:

The fourth image shows the BCR&N / CRI&P freighthouse just north of
MacArthur Bridge (yeah, I know it doesn't have anything to do with the
topic, but it's a neat photo):

All,
I have information that the engine house was to the
South of the TT and it was originally the Car repair
shop. The roundhouse was North of the TT and it was in
the early to late 50's or 60's. I have a copy of a
portion of a insurance map showing the car repair
shop, TT and roundhouse in 1935 and it had been
updated with a glued in layover with no new date. It
is an insurance map no #of stalls and feet of TT.
I have a copy of a photo of the TT and it looks larger
than 60' which is longerthan a GP9 isn't it?
Thanks,
Lamoyne
BCR&N
