Summary

Description
English: View of the five or so Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) roundhouse stalls at the old Clark Avenue Yard in Cleveland, Ohio. Since 1954, the roundhouse and its associated buildings have been owned by the Midwest Railway Preservation Society.

The roundhouse was built in 1906 by the B&O to replace a much smaller roundhouse owned by the Cleveland and Terminal Valley Railroad (which it had purchased in 1889. The B&O built an entirely new rail yard at a cost of $400,000 ($10.7 million in 2016 dollars). The 10-stall semicircular roundhouse measured 280 feet on the outside and 145 feet on the inside and cost $45,347 ($1.2 million in 2016 dollars). Built so it could be expanded, it never was.

Caboose C3280 was built in 1970 by the International Car Company in Kenton, Ohio for the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Railway. It was used on the Columbus-to-Toledo run. WHen the C&O became Chessie System in 1973, the caboose was placed on the Fostoria-to-Greenwich run in Ohio. It retired from service in 1992, and was purchased by the Midwest Railroad Preservation Society in 1995. It was completely rebuilt in 1997.

The blue shunter is a Trackmobile (I think).
