I remeber years ago seeing a 1960s topo map of Baltimore with a roundhouse shown near the PRR/B&O tracks in East Baltimore. I believe it was a PRR/PC property. I was google earthing (such a great railfan tool!) and saw what could be the remains. It is certaily the right area.

N 39deg 17min 46.38 sec
W 76deg 33 min 33.24 sec

Near Pulaski Hwy & Monument Street

The "Scar" if you will, looks to be a perfect circle with radiating track marks. Is it the old roundhouse, or just the remains from a center pivot sand loader? It looks way to perfect though.

Does anyone know the history?
