Model Railroad Article #18: Roundhouse Locomotives

 

This article is all about locomotives inside the roundhouse on the Danville County Railroad Layout. The 1st photo shows Burlington Northern E Unit #9804 ready to come out of the roundhouse, and the 2nd photo is of Chessie System GP9 4301 inside the roundhouse on Track 2. Usually engines in this roundhouse stay in any of the 3 tracks for at least 1 whole day or more than that if there aren't as many trains on a certain day, but most of the time there are trains for these engines to run on.
