AQ turntable

Santa Fe turntable at Albuquerque, NM, all that's left of the former roundhouse (razed in 1980s). The other shop buildings mostly remain, and are under consideration for some sort of revival, which may include a rail museum.

Check out this link and scroll down to the Albuquerque roundhouse site and pictures. If they had just let it be for a few more years, they could have had the finest museum anywhere. Heck they already had the ATSF equipment there, which in my humble opinion should NEVER have gone to the California State railroad museum to be left to rot outside...but that's a gripe for another day.
