    Post Sogarcreek Ohio - Age of Steam Roundhouse

    The Age of Steam Roundhouse, the first fully operational roundhouse built in the United States since 1951, displaying what is believed to be the largest private collection of steam locomotives in the world, has opened in Sugarcreek Ohio for regular tours.

    It’s a massive, timber-frame building, 48,000 square feet, with 40-foot high ceilings, Belden Brick walls and heavy oak doors. Banks of windows flood the space with natural light. In addition to the 22 steam locomotives, the facility is also home to a dozen diesel locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and miscellaneous train equipment.

    I'm old enough to remember steam locomotive trains in the 1950's, which was at the very end of their days as diesel was just taking over. I loved listening to them off in the distance in the middle of the night. Just wonderful.

    I am going to go here, I think. My Uncle taught me trains and I used to love to ride my bicycle down to the tracks and watch them go by.

    Engines required engineers.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
