A tag for rail roundhouses. A characteristic semi-circular or circular[1] building used by railroads to service engines. They are a relic from the steam age, and only generally exist as museum pieces. They may well be in common use in countries that have not moved to electric/diesel powered locomotives, such as South America, Africa and parts of South Asia.
How to map
