Add to SetSummary
Steam locomotives required constant maintenance and the roundhouse is where that work took place. An army of skilled and unskilled workers, like this unidentified man at the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad's Jackson, Ohio, roundhouse, kept locomotives in good running condition. The DT&I operated a 378-mile mainline between Detroit, Michigan, and Ironton, Ohio.
