The Steam Locomotives Inside the Roundhouse

The Brooklyn Roundhouse is home to some of the oldest operating steam locomotives in the USA. These steam engines include the SP 4449 (orange), the 700 and the 197 (under repair).
These locomotives are the last of their kind and offer a unique view to the history of a railroad that once was. Several times a year, the caretakers here fire up these engines and take them out to stretch their legs.
