I went to google maps and used the street view from the road on the west side. It looks like a concrete pad with a fence around it. Inside appears to be 55 gallon drums and some sort of fabric bags. Probably a hazardous chem storage area or something like that.

Thanks to watching a rerun an old B&W "Gunsmoke", where a woman wants to go to Ft. Wallace, KS, I found another roundhouse footprint. I just wanted to see if there really was a Fort Wallace.

TV lead me to another site... 'Antiques Roadshow' had a 1930's poster advertising vacationing in Dunkerque and I wanted to see what it was like. Used Google Earth and started following RR lines and found:

I was just looking around those parts last week. It's one of those "holes" in the map where something should just be... and there it was, but I didn't see it.
There's one in KS, Sharon Springs, the town just to the west of that.

Updated the files to the latest additions and I managed to upload them to my webspace (even though most of the other users of that system are locked out of their space!).
I have compressed all 5 files into one ZIP file so MAYBE everybody can download them all in one swell foop.

That should get you all 5 files at once for you to Un-ZIP.
Here are links to the individual files:

Unfortunately, I am still unable to download the KMZ files so I have left the links out of this posting. You will get them in the ZIP file.
Happy New Year roundhouse fans!

Here are two turntables/roundhouses in Germany:
Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck
51° 32'23.3" N 7°07'13.5" E
(preserved; steam locos in regular service stationed there until 1977)
Bochum-Dahlhausen
51°25'57.0" N 7°07'29.3" E
Railway museum that runs steam trains in summer
The interleaved turntables you found in Hamburg-Altona and their roundhouses that formed almost a closed circle (total of 57 stands) were demolished in 1982 (RH) and 2000 (TT). You can find lots of pictures in Wikipedia; search for "bahnbetriebswerk hamburg-altona"
Another Roundhouse in Germany:
Rheine
base for oil-fired steam locos until 1977 (on the last German mainline worked exclusively by steam). Tracks and turntable removed in 1983; roundhouse derelict and will probably be demolished soon.

LokshuppenGER: Thanks for the list... sorry I have not gotten back to you sooner to say so. I am still working my way through it, adding the new ones to my list...
WHEW! I thought I already had a lot in my list for Germany (76) and figured your list would have lots and lots of duplicates of mine... Well... there are a FEW duplicates so far, but not many. I am astounded at how many turntables and roundhouses there are in Germany! Wow! So far I have an additional: 217 and I have about another 30 to look through.
To everybody else... his list is more extensive than mine. It includes shop buildings and other items that I am not adding to my list. He also separated his list to show roundhouses and turntables as individual items (my list has one entry for a turntable and has a notation when there is also evidence of a roundhouse associated with it). This makes his list much larger than mine, but gives the ability to distinguish between them. I sort of wish I had started with separate entries, but I am way too far invested in my list to go back through it separating them.
Again, LokshuppenGER, Thank you for sharing your list!
I will finish adding things to mine and then update the files on-line for everyone else.
Updated the files to the latest additions.
Sorry... I am unable to download your latest link. It keeps trying to install a different browser... I tried several times. The last time the whole system went nutz telling me I had a serious virus and that Microsoft was going to disable my PC if I didn't call them right away... no way to get out of the loop it was stuck in...
I KNOW BETTER THAN TO FALL FOR THAT SCAM.
I got my PC shut down and all is perfectly fine with it... that is an OLD SCAM that has been around for ages. I will not fall for it and i sure hope nobody else falls for it either!
I think you should find a different storage service than what you are using.
OK, im sorry for that, my fault, im using NoScript and AdBlock (both addons for my browser) to avoid stuff like that...thos link should be better

I am still working on transcribing the new "non-U.S." list LokshuppenGER provided.
Just the last week or so, Google Earth has become very sluggish. Takes 10 to 20 seconds to load images as I zoom in and out to view each site as I add them. It seems to be associated with the network response time in fetching the photo images of the earth. Moving items in the lists is still as fast (or slow, depending on your viewpoint!) as it ever was, but shifting to a new location occurs as fast as always, but then all I have is a blurry image for 10 seconds before the images begin download.
I don't know what happened. I have not made any changes to my setup (that I know of). It might be a problem with something MS did in an update to Winders or maybe G.E. had an update that screwed-up something, or something has been corrupted on my system. But it is a real PAIN to work with GE now.
I will keep working at it, but it is now a VERY slow process.
They just autoupdated the program again. Not sure I like the new look, but at least everything still seems to work the same.
