Several people have commented on that same thought. It would be nice if some group stepped in to save it before it deteriorated beyond repair. I would pay to visit it restored! Thanks for the thought. TC Glenn
Thank you for this video. I am from Bellevue and grew up two streets down from the east side of the rail yard and I've never once (even as a photographer who loves the abandoned) gone into the roundhouse or on the property. I have a relative that is now retired from the railroad and I've talked to him about the roundhouse and getting inside sometime. I think I'm going to have to give him a call soon and make this happen. Regardless of the state of it, I love that it still stands, especially considering the residence of my great-grandparents (in their younger years) has the view of the roundhouse across the street from what is now Buckeye Street, formerly Railroad Street in Bellevue. Glad no one approached you and you were able to capture this!
Thank you for your story. I have had several other people comment on living near this area and wondering how I did the video. I just drove up and walked around the building without anyone saying anything to me. I guess I was just lucky. It is a magnificent structure and I do hope somehow it is preserved. By the way, I never went into the building, I just stuck my camera in thru some open windows. If you get in I'd like to see the pics. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Take Care Glenn
@@oldmanwithacam3040 You're very welcome and thank you for the response! I'm not sure of any plans to keep it preserved, but it would be amazing if NFS could partner with the railroad museum in town and figure something out. If I'm able to get access, I'll be happy to share the photos.
I was here in Jan. of 1978. Still well used at the time. There were 2 RS11s on a side track, not looking so good. Several ex Wabash F7s that had been taken out of service waiting to be scrapped. An SD45 was being turned on the table when the hostler asked if we wanted a ride! We climbed aboard and we were taken inside. Inside there was an RS1 from some midwestern RR having work performed on it. This was the last roundhouse built in the USA.
WOW ! That must have been fantastic ! You don't get opportunities like that too often. Just like me looking around this Roundhouse. No One ever even approached me. I guess they have security patrols now, from what I'm told. Thanks for sharing...... Take Care Glenn
Nice job' , fascinating'.. if only that round house could talk'.. Progression and technology'.. Nothing like history'.. Thank you for this fine contribution! NKP one of my favorite RR'..
Sorry I missed your comment (don;t know how that happened) Thank you for the comment. It would be fascinating to hear some stories about this roundhouse. NKP was a loud and proud RR indeed. Glenn
The Fort Wayne Group should take this over it has a lot of room and it's all ready built. There plan is to build a set up like this But looking at the photo there will be No room for anything. It's like removing Riverfront in Cincinnati and putting in a Roundhouse complete with all around building and Break Ins and Lawsuits. This looks wide open a way from houses and more Railfan friendly (if there still is such a thing anymore). Thanks for the post.
I was thinking MAD RIVER. They're right in town and this would offer them more room for their displays plus housing and working on NKP 767. Thank you for the great comment an glad you enjoyed it.
Great video I was 1 when this was built and grew up behind the NKP round house and turntable in New Haven, Ind just outside of Ft.Wayne. You can see why your video was so exciting for me! I’m planing on going to Sugar Creek, Ohio to see their new Round House and Steam Museum. Great place to do a video. Thanks for your video
Hey.....thanks for viewing and the comment ! I did visit AGE OF STEAM ROUNDHOUSE AND MUSEUM several years ago (did a video too). You will enjoy the museum and the tour. Let me know what you think of it after your visit. Take Care Glenn
I visited this site in June of 1956, when it was the engine terminal of the Nickel Plate Road. Half of the yard engines were diesel, but all of the road engines (Berkshires) were steam. Approximately 2 years later, internal combustion had taken over forever.
Glad you enjoyed it ! It is a very unique Roundhouse and one of a vew still standing. Please send me a link to a video if you do one on the scale up model or a picture (OldmanwithaCAM@gmail.com) Thank you for the comment Glenn
Thanks for the comment If you ever want to see an operational roundhouse there is one in Sugar Creek, Ohio. The Age of Steam Railroad Museum. They offer awesome tours !
This complex is remarkably intact except for the roof. I wonder what happened there? Interesting all the glass bricks used in construction to let in natural light. Vandals have managed to smash some of them, too. If this was built in 1947 NKP must have believed in steam as diesels were already appearing on railroads at that time. This could be used as a diesel servicing facility, also. I had no idea this place existed. Thanks for sharing.
Too bad the Mad River & NKP Museum didn't get it, to house their collection indoors. There are plenty of books on the Nickel Plate Road, and also some movies shot by Donald Krofta in the late fifties, showing in use. They were produced by Herron Rail Video. I have all 4 volumes on DVD, and this Roundhouse & Turntable are shown in Vol. 1.
It's nice to see some of these old structures documented as you never know when they might come down. There's a former NKP roundhouse in Frankfort Indiana that is in significantly much worse shape. Who knows how long it'll be before someone comes along and tears it down.
That was my thought exactly. I saw it and wondered how long it would be before it was torn down.......so I made the video before it looked like the one in Conneaut, Ohio. Thank you for watching and commenting. Glenn
Is this the most "modern" roundhouse still standing? I've never seen a concrete one before. With all the nice glass blocks, it must have been quite a beautiful piece of srchitecture in its day, railroad architecture notwithstanding. Question: what were all the boarded-up squares along the back wall of each stall? Surely not places for A/C units? After all, by 1947 A/C was in most of the newer passenger cars, etc. July 26, 2023. St. Joseph, MO. I've been a rr fan for 74 yrs, ever since I was 5.
I do believe it is one of the original railroad (steam locomotives) used buildings still in one piece, for now. As for the boarded up squares ……. They were sliding glass windows (no sign of air conditioners) used to ventilate and let light in. The squares above the lower ones were windows of glass block, for lighting purposes. It is great that you have enjoyed railroading since you were 5 (seen a lot of changes). I’ve included some links to a modern roundhouse you might enjoy.

@OldManWithaCam Definitely a shame it can't be saved. It's surrounded by active rail on all sides and would create a liability for the railroad.
