On April 28, 2017, the Texas, an 1856 steam-powered locomotive, was revealed to the public for the first time following a 16-month restoration during N.C. Transportation Museum’s 100 Years of Steam event. The Texas made her grand re-debut and was showcased on the 100-foot turntable in the center of the 37-bay Bob Julian Roundhouse, the largest standing roundhouse in North America.
