Did any railroad ever use a large non-pit type of turntable? Thanks. Rich. rpetersen@blast.net |

Not really. Some truss and gallows types had just a shallow pit and others were cut into a hillside, with only a partial pit, but all were sunk into the ground a little. The 100-foot Colorado & Southern truss-type table below, incidently, still exists. Moved from Denver's 7th Street roundhouse, it is now stored at Chama, NM,pending a good home. Another just like it (ex-CB&Q) was still sitting out of the ground at Northport, Nebraska last I knew. > Did any railroad ever use a large non-pit > type of turntable? Thanks.
