Hol, folks...... When I hired out in '77, the Gillette roundhouse was almost gone, just some walls on the west end remaining. There was a small brick office building that we always referred to as 'the roundhouse', but I suspect it was really the roundhouse foreman's old office or storeroom. There was a 'sleeping complex' of about 24 rooms located on that side of the yard. The Company had recently put up an overpass, I suppose to keep people from getting run over while crossing back and forth. At any rate, right after the first snows, the buried concrete turntable pit would still be warm, and you could see its' outline in the snow from the overpass. That area is pretty well covered up with storage now, so I doubt that it's still visible. Mike
