BOSTON & MAINE ROUNDHOUSE         
The rear wall of the East Somerville roundhouse was glass brick which made the interior very light. The large size of the building makes the rear wall in my shot look almost straight when in fact it is circular (the radious of the rear wall was probably 300 feet but Im guessing. P-2d 3622 was built by Schenectady in 1911 and scrapped Sept. 1956. The engine in front is H-2a 0-8-0 622 which was retained for snow melting until July 1957 but it hadn't been used for switching for a number of years.
