Apologies if it is genuine - but as it seemed to reek of SPAM and also seemed to be yelling at me I avoided it like the plague.

1920s. One more of the roundhouse. We can't see it but the folks in the picture can.
The south end of the 60th Street Yard.

Any idea about the dates of these photos?
Bob
Very cool! Thanks for sharing this.
Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train
Henry and Dave, thanks for the favorable reviews.
Google books has scanned a 1920 publication about the railroad situation in the Port of New York. The link is set to page 105 because there's a picture (not a very good picture) of the 60th Street Yard. The roundhouse is partly visible behind the water tower. The silouette of the grain elevator is recognizable at the top. The book itself is worth at least of few minutes of exploration. I learned a lot.

Long gone and no great picture of it here.
It was to the left of this picture of the north end of the 60th Street Yard.
Footbridge to Riverside Drive and 72nd St.
View south from the footbridge. At the right margin is a locomotive on the roundhouse track.
Too dark but I see the turntable. Hell Gate Bridge in the distance.
