They are replacing a few of the original wooden rafters that are damaged due to weather and or fire.

Rail and angle iron.  Still inside the roundhouse!!

Hard to believe there are still tracks inside one of the stalls!!   This is stall 6.  Unknown how far out of the roundhouse stall it extended as the section of rail they cut off was already gone.
