Bayshore Roundhouse

This is known as a Roundhouse and track part before it is known as the Turntable. A Roundhouse was a building utilized for stabling and overhauling steam motors, while the Turntable was utilized as a part of request to help put the motors in directly into the structures and after that turn the motors around so they would keep running forward on their next outing.

Steam motors, not at all like later motors, were generally intended to just have the capacity to pull trains confronting forward. Originally there was more than two hundred roundhouses in the territory of California. Presently in spite of the fact that there are likely a few wood roundhouses left, there is just a single block roundhouse as yet standing, and it's scarcely remaining at that.
