NYC Mt. Carmel Shops
Here's a great aerial photograph of the shops area at New York Central's Mt. Carmel, Illinois shops in 1951. Lots of good stuff to see including 7 steam engines (4 in the roundhouse), a water tank, the new turntable, a freight house, car shop, roundhouse, etc. I don't know where I got this photo from, but it looks like something from Rex Settlemoir's collection, who's family came from a long line of NYC employees. At this point, steam, the Egyptian and most of the double-track on this line were coming to an end unfortunately.
