Notes:
Significance: The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Roundhouse and Backshop Complex 
are all that remain of what once was one of the midwest's largest railroad ship 
facilities. In the era of steam these were the major repair and construction 
shops for the railroad, employing as many as 2,000 workers in periods of peak 
operation. During the twentieth century, changes from the construction and 
repair of steam locomotives to the construction of part for streamlined 
passenger cars paralleled developments throughout the railroad industry.
