Monon Turntable and Roundhouse
Title:  Monon Turntable and Roundhouse
Description:  Interesting view turntable and roundhouse from 1963. I believe the 75 foot, 150 ton turntable and the 10 stall turntable both date back to at least 1905. MON #22 sits just beyond the table and the iconic Hammond water tower can easily be seen in the far background. What appears to be a former heavyweight passenger car now appears to serve as a shed. Photo by Wm P. Nixon.
