  • do not say that ns wants to tear it down. thats why i hate ns. go CSX for bringing back steam excursions

  • Actually, NS is helping in the efforts to save the roundhouse. It is some of the city officials that want to see it gone. They don't have any vision and just see an abandoned buildings falling apart.

  • The city seems more concerned with the brownfields and petroleums contamination than with saving the building.

    One report showed oils seeping as low as 14 ft. deep in to soil.

  • @tcrlaf

    What report would that be? As far as I know, no body had done any testing on the site as of yet. If so, who paid to have the testing done?

  • Pippenger's 2007 Report on the Brass Foundry.. Youtube deleted the link I posted

  • This report is inaccurate and misleading to say the least. It is meant to turn public opinion against the Roundhouse.

    Yes, it has deteriorated quickly. However, wonderful things are starting to happen with the Roundhouse and hopefully we will see it being turned around (so to speak) in the future.

  • Is the Nickel Plate Road historical society doing anything? Is this the most important reminaing "artifact" on what's left of the NKP system?

  • I imagine a worls class railroad musem here. And having operating steamers coming here. Imagine 765 and her sisters all here for a reunion.

  • Imagine NKP railroad days being held here. There would be in attendence all surving NKP berks and mikes, if possible. 765 and 779 would be there as would any Diesles.
