John Street Roundhouse, Railway park in Old Toronto, Canada
The John Street Roundhouse spans 9,300 square meters and contains a central 120-foot turntable for directing locomotives into maintenance positions.
The Canadian Pacific Railway constructed this roundhouse between 1929 and 1931 to replace an earlier 1897 facility that became inadequate for larger steam engines.
The Toronto Railway Museum occupies three restored stalls of the roundhouse, displaying locomotives, railway artifacts, and offering educational programs about transportation history.
Visitors can access the park daily between Bremner Boulevard and Lake Shore Boulevard West, near the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
The facility earned recognition for its maintenance standards, leading railroad workers to refer to particularly clean locomotives as having received the John Street polish.
