Re: D&RGW Roundhouse Question

Jim:
I have yet to see a picture of the second roundhouse, but it was gone in the 1930's, replaced by a spur with an slightly elevated coaling track. The drawing I got years ago from Maxwell shows that the area was laid out with a firemain, and must be the site of the second roundhouse.
. I believe the NPS Cimarron website has this roundhouse on their yard layout.
