No. 5 RAILROAD DIGEST A Method of Round House Expansion Railziay Age, April 5, 1901, p. large locomotives which have been built by manytrunk lines of late years have in many cases taxed round-house accommodation to the utmost. In fact a modernlocomotive in place on its pit in a roundhouse built someyears ago, often has part of its tender extending outsidethe building-. The Kinnear Mfg. Co., of Columbus. O., hasdevised an easy means by which a locomotive can be fully. housed without altering the existing building in any wayand without abnormal cost. The plan proposed is, briefly,to erect a number of wrought-iron columns which are soarranged as to form the necessary grooves for the Kinnearsteel doors to operate in. These iron columns take up verylittle room and yet give an additional space for a locomotiveof from 5 to 8 feet, according to the radius of the old wall,the new wrought-iron columns giving the same clearancefor a tender which the present building may have. Theoriginal line of the roof is then extended to cover thesecolumns. Where the clearance in height is sufficient glasstransoms can be placed above the doors to provide amplelight.
