| Description |
The B&O Railroad Museum roundhouse in Baltimore, Maryland, hours after the catastrophic collapse of its roof on February 17, 2003. The devastation was caused by the weight from heavy snowfall in the Blizzard of 2003. Half of the roof (right) fell onto the rare, irreplaceable rolling stock exhibits beneath it, causing severe damage. |

| Purpose of use |
Used to illustrate details of the roof construction and the missing sections in relation to the supporting iron struts, ties, and support columns, to better illustrate how the roof collapsed while the structure's load-boaring central columns remained standing, along with the remaining roof. |
| Replaceable? |
Not replaceable; no free images are known to exist of this event, particularly while snow covers the remaining roof. This is a unique event in the history of this famous building, unprecedented since its construction in 1884. |
