The NRHS web site listed above has round houses listed by state. The old SP, now UP, roundhouse and turntable in the Brooklyn Yard in Portland Oregon is still in operation. The roundhouse is down to 3 stalls which houses the SP daylight engine 4449 and SP&S 700. I'm not sure of the engine in the 3rd stall. <br />The yard is basically a container and trailer yard for UP for shipments south to California etc. and there are plans to expand the yard which would require the turntable and roundhouse be demolished. The engines would be moved to a new as yet to be determined site with access to a railroad. Roy <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
