Hello All

Just thought some might like to look at pictures I've put up of the (now gone) D&H roundhouse in Carbondale, PA. A magnificent place at one time!

Very interesting Dave, thanks for posting. Visited the site last year, amazing. I picked up a brick, now I have from both the roundhouses in Carbondale and Oneonta. Any further info on that turntable by the former diesel shop?

Nice work!

Dave, Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Ihad last seen the complex I guess a year or so before it was torn down. At that time the roof was still intact. The fire must have beeen later.
I grew up in Forest City back in the forty's and my playground was in the freight station there and many a day I remember the long slow trains dragging uphill and then watching the "Kicker" drifting back down grade to pick up another train. I never knew untill the early 90's that there had been a complex in Carbondale. By that time, almost all was gome. Do you know of any history/pictures of the complex when it was still in operation? The only ones that I have seen was a article in the Bridge line mag as to when the changed the turntable to a larger on in record time! Would love to see them.
Bob
