Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: roundhouse

This is an alternate shot that I took of the roundhouse.

The Ceske Drahy Muzeum was, until the 1990's, an active depot with a roundhouse, another engine shed, and several other buildings. These buildings are now used for display and maintenance of the collection, and the roundhouse is used for both, with some stalls for display, and some for work. Here we see the turntable, several of the display stalls, and some of the steam locomotive collection. Somewhere back in the stalls, which I have a bad photo of (which isn't on the internet), is Ex-CSD #310.076, which used to be displayed at Ceske Budejovice. I have a photo of it displayed there here: https://www.test.ipernity.com/doc/23639/1075124 Other locomotives in the roundhouse that I don't have good photos of include Ex-CSD #300.619, pictured here: http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7519 ...#354.7152, pictured here: http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7525 ...#422.098, pictured here: http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7524 ...as well as #434.1100... http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7484 ...which was the first locomotive built by Skoda in Plzen. Also missing from my roundhouse photos are #423.094.. http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7527 ...464.053... http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7531 ...555.0153... http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-6805 ...534.0323... http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7553 ...and 556.0271... http://www.cdmuzeum.cz/muzeum/exponaty/-7555 ...which I really regret not seeing since it was the pinnacle of Czech steam freight power.

As I've said many times before, steam-era infrastructure pops up everywhere in the Czech Republic. This roundhouse is in Zdice, and I can't tell whether it's still in use or not.

In the former East Germany, a lot of steam locomotive infrastructure is still in place, both in use and not. This roundhouse in Pirna is one such facility, although it's hard to tell just from the photo if it's in service or not.

Another relic from the past that I spotted on this trip was this old steam-era roundhouse just outside of Vsetaty.

Here's a better, or worse, depending on your opinion, shot of the Cercany roundhouse. That extreme light leak on the left wrecks it from a technical standpoint, but that's not why people take Lomos, now is it? :-)

This shot of the Cercany yard, which features the roundhouse and turntable on the left (still in use), is less extreme than Picture 1, so whether that's good or bad I'll leave up to you.
