Add Your Turntable To BridgeHunter

In doing research into "turntable bridges" for a previous post, I discovered that the late James Baughn, webmaster of BridgeHunter.com, had added a category for railroad turntables, both as reused for other bridge spans and as turntables:

http://bridgehunter.com/category/tag/turntable/

I see a number of notable turntables and turntable-span bridges here (some of the latter which I added over the years), but there are notable absences as well, both preserved and abandoned.

Anyone looking for something to do? Feel free to add your "local" railroad turntable, in revenue service or preserved, to the site. Obtaining editing permission used to be easy enough--just answer a couple questions proving you know something about the website and its purpose, and you can join as well:
