1902/1937 Inspection Pit
Stalls inside the 1902/1937 roundhouse had below-grade work pits. These shallow brick and concrete-lined pits ran down the center of each stall and extended from the front to the rear walls of the roundhouse.
Upon a locomotive's arrival at the roundhouse, mechanics climbed under, around, and over all parts of the steam engine searching for problems that might interrupt the operation of the locomotive while on the road.
Marker can be reached from Mechanic Street, on the right when traveling east.
