BIG RouNDHousE
Improved Equipment of Building Re-
 gently Erected at Waterbury.

The great, big brick roundhouse that the New Haven road had built down in South Brooklyn, at the Meri- den Junction. has been in operation long enough to make everybody con- nected with the railroad business in Waterbury feel that it's going to be a success, says The American. The roundhouse is a massive affair, and railroaders say it ought to be pointed out to visitors as one of the notable sights of the city.
 In comparison with the old round house, which was located 8 short dis tance south of the old Bank street station, the new building takes a stand all by itself. Not only does it con tain Q resting room" for the engines that have been puffing and pulling for mile after mile, but it also has d, little hotel-like lodging house, where the tired trainmen come in and reg ister. take the bunk assigned to thenl, and get a sleep.
 Among the rooms are the locker room, where 99 steel lockers are the chief feature; toilet rooms an oil room, storeroon. general foreman's of- flee, register room for engineers, en-, room, tool room. all of which are on the ground floor, the building being only one story in height There is also a bunk room on the ground floor. This bunk room contains 26 hunks, with sufficient mattresses and blank cts. It is a good sized room, well ventilated, and any trainman may stay there over might if he doesn't care to go home. There is a register in the room just like that in a hotel, where the trainmen put their names. The register is in charge of the chief clerk in the office of the general fore man. The men get their bunk assign ment and an inspection is made of it both before and after. occupancy.
 The office of the general foreman, Peter Collins, is well equipped room There is a. big cabinet containing five lockers for filing reports of various kinds The room IS ttractiyely fur nfshed and presents a cozy appear ance. Asses
