Has anyone actually seen what they did with the old Montpelier & Wells River/Barre & Chelsea turntable at Montpelier, Vermont? Also, does anyone know its length?

Mmm, as of two (?) years ago I do not believe anything had been done to the table other than surrounding it with yellow tape. It is real neat, and nearby is the foundation of the Washingon County Railroad enginehouse that was burned down, with the railway's Alcos, back in 97 or so. I do not know the length, but it is not very long at all. In one of Robert Jones books there is a photo of an engine on this turntable - I believe a small Monpelier and Wells River 2-8-0.
