Well, if you have the time and inclination, we may be able to sort this out a bit....I am going to post in this message another picture.  Please let me know if it behaves like the previous picture.  If it just shows up as a red X, please visit the link I will also provide.  Let me know if it magically appears after you visit the link.  Also, before visisting the  link, check for the behavior of the previous picture I posted.  Please note if  it is just a red x before and after visiting this link....

The Picture...




The link...

and the cut and paste...

And, thanks for the help!

...I may have a one track mind, but at least it's not Narrow (gauge) Wink.....

This time the first picture was a red x inside a large box, while the second one was a red x in a small box. I clicked on "The link" and got Forbidden. Both pictures stayed as red crosses. Then I clicked on Missoula turntable, and both pictures show, but The link still shows Forbidden.

Well, heck.  Have to set up a different place to post photos, then.  I am pretty sure this is a google issue, I will try to work it out with them, if they are interested.

Thanks for the help!

Im sure you may still see some remanants in Green River but the photos of GR are not good at all.

Hey Zak, here is a closer picture of the Klamath Falls roundhouse, or rather where it used to be. It was still standing when I first moved to Modoc.

Turntable, You do the same thing as I do, I still refer to  the turntable as the roundhouse, but every one knows what I mean, the round pit is the turntable, the big wooden (or brick) round building is the roundHOUSE. I'm not alone.

Well, here are a couple pictures I have of abandoned roundhouses...first one is in Big Valley, Alberta, a former CNR division point. Second is shot through the turntable at Missoula, Montana, mentioned above.
