Ed - These locomotives are the reason my last couple of purchases were steam locomotives.

The Mary St. engine house is located in the west end of Leetown and is always busy providing light maintenance and lubrication to the locomotives prior to departures.

I just love coming to the Roundhouse. So many great locos to see. That is a sweet looking one on the turntable.

Thanks Tom---visitors are always welcomed and don't forget to bring your camera as the Leetown staff are rail-fan friendly.

Long before today's drones Barney Secord's bi-plane provided the best opportunity to get those overhead shots---here's an example taken at the James St. roundhouse.Those flights were always heart stopping but worth the risk.

A pair of Mikadoes head out of the roundhouse ready to haul freight on the Leetown Division.
