Waseca was a C & NW Chicago and North Western division point, or a place where engines were serviced. The roundhouse and car shops were built in 1881 and for many years provided Waseca's largest payroll. Engines were repaired at the roundhouse while cars went on the "riptrack" to the shops for repair. The roundhouse burned in 1953.Cataloged By
