Ohio’s Age of Steam Roundhouse has completed construction of a 10-stall roundhouse that it began last year. The museum celebrated the opening on May 28 with a ribbon-cutting and the placement of the first piece of equipment in the structure, the business car Sugarcreek.

The 10-stall roundhouse has long been a key part of Age of Steam’s master plan, drafted by its founder, Jerry Jacobson, in 2008. While the previous 18-stall roundhouse is primarily made of wood, this new one was constructed of steel, reflecting the style of roundhouses built during the late steam era. Although it will not be open to the public, the equipment stored inside will be rotated with that on public display in the main roundhouse.

Age of Steam has a collection of nearly two dozen steam locomotives, many of which were once part of the Ohio Central Railroad fleet. For more information, visit ageofsteamroundhouse.org.
