Okay, it's pretty. Let's see what I can see. I don't have a hope of finding it (yet) there's still live track to the top left it was a fairly major yard once, there's three tracks leading down from the upper of the double-yolks (3 steam / prep tracks implies big yard) It was abandoned long enough ago for some fairly large trees to grow The construct on the middle of the three tracks leading down appears to be an end-of-track buffer, suggesting it was abandoned in stages - there's probably a live yard further down (or are there even still rails there?) not enough details to guesstimate which way is North Good luck!
By the shadows you know its either mid morning or evening.. so north is either top right, or bottom left, unless this is quite close to one of the poles ;-)
This would be the Proviso yard near Chicago. I recall seeing a photo of this roundhouse in John Armstrong's book on model railroad track planning.
Becareful, Darren's been know to rotate the image and not showing the compass to hide which way is NORTH. You could be right; but, don't trust the top of the image to be NORTH even between images that he posts. Oh wait, that's me I'm talking about. Sorry, that is not it... :tb-biggrin: :tb-biggrin:

>>> Despite the heavy air attacks 1944 only a few losses. Loss of railcars hall and a water tower, the second one is only slightly damaged, only the lining of the building is missing, so that he can continue to be used. Construction of a wooden, rectangular water tower as he was in the Reichsbahn on the front was customary to replace the destroyed towers. He is, however, behind the right-wing store. <<<
True, but I don't think the turntables overlapped like this. I remember seeing a picture and both Proviso roundhouses were almost 360 degrees; a massive number of locomotives. Are the overlapping turntables unique in Europe?
