The Canadian National Mary St. roundhouse is located in the north east neighbourhood of Leetown.This three stall facility is home to the locomotives that service the industrial section of Leetown and many of the smaller branch-line steam engines that frequent the Leetown Division.Here's a CNR N class Consolidation getting ready for it's next assignment.

The James St. engine terminal is home to big power on the Leetown Division including this visitor from the Central Vermont---T3A #705.This locomotive will be a regular on the Leetown Division after she has completed a major overhaul at the EG&E shops at Lowbanks which will include a much needed paint job.

What a travesty, this photobucket thing. I somehow think they should have been required (legally) to maintain the rules that were in effect for photos posted proir to their change in their rules. Then newly posted photos could be subject to their new rules. Maybe a class action suit should be considered.

Very nice roundhoues photos, and good weathering job on those steam engines.
