Hi All
I have a general question, does anyone have any idea, when the Boston & Albany roundhouse was torn down, in Worcester, Mass. The roundhouse was located between Grafton St, and Franklin St, the last slide I have was taken in January of 1986.
I am also going to include a satellite photo of what it looks like today. As always Thank you. Pat.

A supermarket was built over the site in late 2003-early 2004. It was shuttered only a few years later and eventually demolished as part of the CSX expansion project in 2011.

Google Earth Pro shows what I believe is the roundhouse you are referring to in the 8/2003 image, but gone in 12/2004.
