Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Roundhouse
Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Roundhouse, Railway roundhouse and national historic site in Victoria West, Canada.
The Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Roundhouse features ten repair stalls arranged in a circular pattern around a central turntable measuring 85 feet in diameter.
Built in 1913, this industrial complex served as the main maintenance facility for steam locomotives until 1949, when diesel engines replaced the older technology.
The roundhouse represents a complete railway maintenance facility with machine shops, boiler rooms, and blacksmith areas that showcase early 20th-century industrial practices.
The facility maintains its original wooden doors, large windows for natural illumination, and extensive network of railway tracks throughout the maintenance complex.
The red brick structure contains an operational turntable that rotated locomotives between different maintenance bays, demonstrating railway engineering solutions of the steam era.
