Was This A Roundhouse In Baltimore ??

[TrainCat2]

Hey all of you history buffs in B'more. Look at this Bing Bird's Eye and tell me if this looks like the property had a roundhouse on it sometime in it's life. A couple of years ago I was actually at this field, but it was not obvious from the ground.

Anyone know if it is and what was the history?

Orangeville,was the name if this roundhouse,and service facility.
Until the end of Conrail electric operations,it was used to service GG1's,and E33&44's.
Also a tunnel helper was staged here.

We have more, but I think they're currently "eaten".

Interestingly I noticed this in another current thread - it shows the roundhouse man!
