Continuing our series of videos and posts to let you #NCLearnAtHome. The N.C. Transporation Museum is home to the largest remaining roundhouse in North America - the Bob Julian Roundhouse. Once the heart of activity at Southern Railway's Spencer Shops, the building was where the regular maintenance of steam locomotives took place. Why was this important? What's there today? Why was it round in the first place? Find out in the video. Learn more transportation history at www.nctrans.org. #nctrans

Our Rail Operations team has been busy moving equipment following our busy winter season. Southern Railway GP30 No. 2601 recently did the honors pulling Southern Railway 2-8-0 No. 542 back toward the Roundhouse where it has been put back on display. No. 542 was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1903 for the Southern Railway and was later leased to subsidiary Atlantic & Yadkin. Its final assignment before retirement by the Southern was as a yard switching locomotive at Spencer. You can see it
