Joel Christensen	General	Really cool! The yard that runs underneath the Ambassador Bridge is still there. Well Kinda. You can not tell where the roundhouse was anymore, but there is a nice size clearing by the bridge and the tracks.	12/21/2012 6:50:28 AM

C&O 490 before streamlining.
Date is estimated 1930's. It was rebuilt in 1946 and it was altered to a 4-6-4 wheel configuration at that time. Appears to be the 21st Street roundhouse under the Ambassador Bridge. Thanks to TK Walters for pointing me in the right direction.
