424 KB | Frank Riedel shot this detailed photo of the Brunswick rail yard. Behind the diesel engines, you can see the water tanks and tower, a still intact, but no longer needed coal tipple, and roundhouse. Given the vintage of the cars on the lower left and the fact the diesels still had 3-digit numbers, the photo was taken prior to 1956.

382 KB | This is a beautiful photo of one of the last steam locomotives in the Brunswick yard in 1952. With the introduction of diesel locomotives, which were significantly more efficient and required less maintenance, steam locomotives were phased out during the 1950s. The last steam engine departed from Brunswick in December 1953. As a result, there was no further need for the coal tipple and roundhouse, which were dismantled in 1981 and 1995, respectively.
