The old roundhouse was being used by Lithcoat Company to reline the interior of those tank cars. Lithcoat speacialized in this business-they also had a shop in Altoona, Pennsylvania. My Dad was Lithcoat's shop supervisor at the time, so I got to see quite a few locos take the spin on the turntable. Lithcoat also had a small critter to move tank cars around; they used the turntable to move cars in & out, and to deliver & receive cars from the CNW.
