This is an old railroad roundhouse that sits just off of the Weber Avenue siding across from the entrance into Falls Park. The building has been modified substantially with most of it being reskinned with metal sheeting. The two big doors are actully still on the building but have been covered by a smaller (14') overhead door and an 8' overhead door.

The interesting thing about this site is you can drive around the building (it is private property - the owner is aware of the Waypoint and has agreed that people can drive through the area)and see a large curved retaining wall. This surrounded the area where the trains used to be parked.

Google earth provides a great shot of this area.

The property is currently being used as an electrical contractor shop.
