ATSF at Richmond Ca Questions
Author: TheButcherofBena

Does anybody know when the Roundhouse was torn down at Richmond CA? How about the "backshop" which was located adjacent? Two more questions: when did they remove the footbridge which spanned the yard; and when did they tear down the art deco appearing commisary and shops building? Thanks in advance for any information you can shed on these questions.

The Richmond roundhouse was torn down in late December 1978 according to the January 1979 issue of Pacific News (pg. 23).

Heres the turntable and part of the roundhouse in the early 60's.
