| The former L&N yard in eastern New Orleans is oriented east-west, and this view is looking northwest. The yard was opened in 1926, and most of the buildings in the center of the photo date from that time. The roundhouse originally had seven stalls and was served by a 90-foot turntable, but four of the stalls had been removed when this photo was taken. The four brick buildings are, from left to right, the Storeroom and Shop Foreman's Office, Locker Room, Storeroom, and Car Repair Building. A yellow Trackmobile can be seen on the right working one of the car repair tracks. |
