The surviving shop buildings and roundhouse will soon be
torn down in favor of a new yard facility. A wye will replace the
turntable and separate maintenance "sheds" will replace the
roundhouse. Provisions have already been put in place for tearing
down the crew facilities (Engine house, Foreman's office, Hostler's room,
bathrooms and MofE crew rooms). Two large trailers have been
delivered recently and will replace the aforementioned quarters. The
building directly behind the roundhouse is next to be demolished. No
dates as to when any of this will happen, but it will be in the distant
future.
