Short version, does it still exist? Most areal views still show it inact, however in Google Maps, it appears to show a ramp into the pit and debris in the pit, along with a "ghost" image of part of the turntable. Have searched for info on its current state, but have come up empty.

Google Earth imagery from a year ago shows the turntable to be in place. Imagery date is 4-23-19.

A CN employee of my acquaintance tells me that the turntable at Flat Rock is still in-service. It was "completely rebuilt 4 or 5 years ago".
