Description

California Audiovisual Preservation Project (CAVPP)
Footage of the San Jose Roundhouse taken circa 1955 at its original location on Lenzen Avenue in San Jose. The fifteen stall Lenzen Roundhouse was originally built in 1899 to serve the standard gauge San Jose-San Francisco rail commuter line and the narrow gauge South Pacific Coast Railroad. It is unique as one of the few such structures built to serve two different gauged locomotives. Because of un-reinforced masonry codes enacted after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the roundhouse structure was scheduled for demolition. Southern Pacific Railroad donated it to the California Trolley and Railroad Corporation, disassembled it and moved it to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds for storage.
