It was a 2 engine house?

- Clearly a two stall engine house, but the length and the four smoke jacks indicate that it could hold four of the smaller 4-4-0s.Dan Conlin (talk)
Being a terminus it makes sense but all those years looking at the birds-eye where they portrayed it like a single engine house made this a surprise.

This was the second engine house, rebuilt after a fire in 1896. The first one may have just had one entrance to the enclosed turntable leading to the three interior stalls. Hard to tell scale from the birds eye view. By the way, the track chart for Annapolis has a fair bit of detail about this engine house, but it is so damned blurry that I can't make much of it out. Can you discern anything?Dan Conlin (talk)
