If you think you've covered everything with the Roundhouse, you're mistaken. The displays continue on the outside with a set of railcars parked on adjacent tracks and accessed via a raised walkway. These cars address various aspects of rail transportation and commerce. One present the history of refrigeration cars and the impact on our lives and culture that being able to transport foods fresh across the country. Another celebrates railroad's contribution to WW II. Another features artifacts and information about dining cars. The most fascinating contains an automated HO scale train layout, and I will share images from it in a separate posting.
