Bulb test?

Is it empty now that 315 is over in Antonito?

Jason, which got me to thinking, which is stall one in the old one, the one on the left of the right? I new 497 is in the left but that wouldn't be #1 in my book. Actually, aren't they like 5 & 6 or something like that to be really technical?

According to the RFP the Friends put together for the new Roundhouse, the 2 remaining bays from the original Roundhouse are numbered 1 & 2. But, I'm not sure. Rich Murray did some real nice graphics of the original and he may know.

Well then, as the right wall is the original, then bay 1 should be the right. That is my story! Lets see if Rich will chime in.

I've been seeing the lights on in the old roundhouse early in the morning lately; I've been wondering if they've been working on 497 or something else.

be well

Gentlemen, you have it correct. The stalls/bays were numbered west to east so, looking at the last remaining stalls from the tipple area, the one on the right would be #1

The tender is now in "The Swamp"

hi guys,

I have also noticed the lights on quite late - the light shines through the cracks in the doors to #1 but I am not sure that lights are not on in both. I was hoping work is being done on 497 - anybody figured out why they moved the tender?

Tom,
I saw the light coming from the right stall as you look at the face of the old roundhouse.
i wonder if maybe they were working on 497 and the light leak was just showing thru the right stall.

Thanks Allen, the mystery deepens. I wonder if they are borrowing parts. Today the door is open and a vehicle is parked in front of it. Could there be 315 belongings left behind?
