Roundhouse & Turntable at CO RR Museum?
Posted by Doublestack on Saturday, April 11, 2009 8:55 PM

HI ther,

I was looking at RR Pictures.net and saw a photo of one of their steam engines on the turntable at Golden.   Its been a long time since I was there, but I don't recall the roundhouse and turntable.   Is that a newer add to the museum... or am I just getting old and forgetful ?
Thx

 According to  www.coloradorailroadmuseum.org/museum

" The Cornelius W. Hauck Restoration Facility was dedicated July 15,
2000. The building's brick design was chosen to reflect a fairly
prosperous railroad in a small division point during the late
nineteenth century. <....>"

Next para mentions the 90 foot Armstrong turntable.
