"Roundhouse
The Cornelius W. Hauck Restoration Facility was dedicated July 15,
2000. The building's brick design was chosen to reflect a fairly
prosperous railroad in a small division point during the late
nineteenth century. Our visitors' gallery allows our guests to
observe restoration work safely and is open during Museum
hours.
The roundhouse area also includes a fascinating display of
locomotives and cars on the roundhouse ”radial” tracks, as well as
a fully functioning 90-foot, “Armstrong” turntable."
