Shortly after the disastrous 1892 fire, locomotive servicing and repairs had to be done out in the open, in front of the roundhouse ruins. From this angle, the machine shop was at the left, and the charred boiler-house roof was visible beside the stack. Prior to the fire, the arch in the roundhouse doors had been bricked up. The 62-foot turntable was still in use. A standard-gauge switch engine, an 1890 Class 113 (C-28) Baldwin 2-8-0 in the 600-series, stood over the ashpit. Spotted on the roundhouse leads, from left to right, were Engines 227, 283, 400 (?), 401, 44, 530 (standard-gauge), 407 and 403. Burned hulks of locomotives remained in the remnants of the roundhouse.
