Behind The Manhattan Transfer Roundhouse -- I

I'm moving beyond early memories, though I have others that I'll probably get back to later. But this week I've been working on the area around the Manhattan Transfer roundhouse. This was actually an afterthought, as in fact was the whole Manhattan Transfer terminal area (which is not based on the former Pennsylvania Railroad location, for what that's worth).
