Looks like most of the Colorado & Wyoming was removed last summer, leaving behind a turntable at Segunda, Colorado. Anyone know its size and type? Have photos?

C&W was long the property of Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., the main industry in Pueblo. The RR has had other operators in recent years, and apparently none proved successful. At one time in the late-1980s, there was at least one proposal to operate tourist trains over it, but none apparently came to fruition.
