Educational Value

An authentic 1940s era railroad roundhouse and backshop facility built in 2010 by Jerry Joe Jacobson. Jerry was once the owner of the Ohio Central Railroad System and amassed a large collection of railroad equipment and historical items pertaining to the railroad industry. His passion to share these magnificent machines and items with others led to the building of the roundhouse and facilities to house the collection, allowing visitors today to step back into the 1940s when steam was king, the Age of Steam. With a collection of 23 steam locomotives, diesel and passenger equipment from the era, visitors are presented with different available guided tours where a site interpreter will discuss history and mechanics of steam locomotives and facilities supporting them.
