Chicago and Northwestern railroad locomotive shops, Chicago, Ill. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• William Hickok said:

  This is a photo of the old round house. It is long since been torn down. All that remans is the turn table.

• Matthew Holman said:

  Excellent view of the main erecting floor and overhead traveling crane inside the 40th street shops- even though Metra still uses 40th Street for servicing locos, this shop has been demolished.

• Jean Knowles said:

  Shouldn't that be "single _masted_ vessel", as in having one mast? All vessels have only one "master", the ship's captain. The vessel's mainmast appears to be missing, leaving only the mizzen.

• BobMeade said:

  I agree with the curator's comment at the persistent URL that this shipo is a coal loader, therefore it is unlikely to any longer be a passenger vessel.

• FL JAGER said:

  it does appear to have been loaded with coal at the time of this photo but this ship had previously been a navy ship, notice the gun deck port hole covers have cut-outs for the cannons...

• Whipper_snapper said:

  It is probably a former frigate hulked for use as a fuelling jetty. HMS Warrior, now preserved at Portsmouth, UK, only survived to today because she remained in use as an oiling jetty until her historical value was recognised and she was rescued. Please add to: Naval History
