At this time, there was no narrow gauge roundhouse in Salida. The narrow gauge rh and turntable were dismantled in WWII. The D&RGW modified the standard gauge roundhouse with stalls for narrow gauge engines and added four rails to the standard gauge turntable. This turntable could handle the largest power on the D&RGW the 3600 2-8-8-2s.
