Martinsburg B&O Roundhouse (continued)


Looking at the rear side of the bridge building. Notice all the glass windows. Almost all the windows had been broken in the 12 years the buildings were deserted. Now, almost all of them have been replaced.	Coal bins behind the car maintenance/foundry building	The rear of the car maintenance/foundry building. Coal bins from other picture are on the far right.

Looking into the foundry area. Notice the steam powered crane with external supports running up the outside of the building.	An entrance way to the foundry area.	The most complete furnace left.

A steam-powered hammer that still works!	One of the shop carts (remember the 2 gauges of track) that carried materials throughout the complex.	The exterior of the car maintenance/foundry building.

At one time, there were two, identical roundhouses at this location. This is the remains of one that burned several years ago.		Back to the red caboose; this time looking at the front of the car maintenance/foundry building and the ruins of the 2nd roundhouse.
