Looking at 'Historic Arials" photos, one sees in 1940 that the Tulip street coaling dock,table and roundhouse was still there,but no power shows up in the shots. I heard of a 1915 or so fire destroyed part of the house? anyone know when tulip Street was OOS? Tulip street is along the "raceway" area, in other words where the PRR crossed overhead.
