Just looking for any updates on the Two harbor roundhouse.

IIRC the latest issue of the Missabe RR Historical Society's "Ore Extra" (that I rec'd maybe a month ago) said that the last impediment to tearing down the roundhouse had been removed, and that demolition was set to begin shortly. I'm assuming by now it's already at least started.

After posting I did a search and found this:

As of today the roundhouse is gone and the car shop is missing a wall. Expect the property to be completely gone by the end of the week,
