If you look at the satellite view, you can clearly make out the scar of a roundhouse/turntable south of the Jones Chemical property. chico Date: 09/17/10 12:54 Re: Eastern RR fans: L&HR location ID help needed Author: njmidland Roundhouse burned down in the late 1950's. Biggest loss was the L&HR's business car the "Warwick". It was rarely used but kept in excellent condition.

Made many a trip to Warwick myself, sadly it was after the RS-3's left the property. Have to go the Springdale AR now to see the LHR C420's still soldiering on! |
