Pete, 

The roundhouse in St. Joe was not that close to the river, either, and as you said, St. Joe has more tracks.

Louis...I, too, thought St. Joe...but as you said..It just doesn't look right...There were more tracks at St. Joe than the one single one shown in the photo.

Hol - Doesn't look "Q" to me. The stored steam locomotive in the distance at far right looks like a C&NW 0-6-0 to me. If indeed Q, then maybe St. Joseph, MO, where the roundhouse was fairly close to the Missouri River. But, that LARGE steel fuel oil tank just doesn't look "Q" to me. Best Regards - Louis

Can anyone in the group identify this Burlington roundhouse beside a large river -- though not as large as the Mississippi.  I'm at a loss to identify it.  Of brick construction, it has 14 exhaust jacks and therefore 14 stalls.  That's a brick power plant and machine shop building adjacent to it, and there's a Q standard 50,000-gallon wooden water tank on steel supports, a large steel storage tank, possibly for fuel oil, and a big wooden coal chute in the distance, along with three possibly stored steam locomotives, though the coal chute is still active as there are hoppers on the delivery track.  The negative of this image is currently for sale on eBay, and it's supposedly taken in 1952.  Archie has confirmed that my first thought, Hannibal, is not correct, as, among other things, the roundhouse and river are both too small.  I have looked at roundhouse lists and there are very few possibilities.  I thought possibly Greybull, Wyo., but the Greybull River is on the other side of town from the roundhouse, which also is of wooden construction.  Gibson roundhouse at Omaha comes to mind, but it was also wooden and the coal chute is wrong, among other things.  I'm baffled; I'm hopeful one of you can identify it.
