About Hanna Roundhouse Society
his is a photo of the Hanna Roundhouse prior to the vandalism of the 1919 section sometime around 2010. A previous owner had equipment in the 1919 section, the beautiful brick portion to the left in this photo. Someone broke in, hot-wired the equipment & drove through the locomotive doors, compromising the roof & brick walls. (Verbal communication from Fortinski to Beaudoin)
An engineer who was contracted to provide a structural engineer report prior to purchasing the property & prior to demolition of the 1919 section in 2012, indicated the weight of the 1919 roof was distributed over the brick walls, then the timber roof supports.
The original 1913 section roof weight was distributed over the timber roof supports, then the concrete walls. (ref. Beaudoin 2013).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are very few roundhouses left in Canada. This one is in bad shape. One third has collapsed, virtually all the rail has been removed, you can't go inside, and there are no other buildings remaining. The turntable is still present. It is worth seeing for rail afficionados, ad it gives a rare opportunity to walk around a steam era engine servicing facility, but most of the facility is gone.
