Bellefonte Central, in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. Beebe & Clegg visited here for Mixed Train Daily. In recent years, the BC has operated a Budd RDC car for excursions.

Still standing in these photos from 2004:

Formerly owned by Bellefonte Central RR, now owned by the SEDACOG Joint Rail Authority and used by the Nittany & Bald Eagle RR. The turntable was originally on the PRR at Tyrone, Pa. and came to Bellefonte about 1945. It is reported to be for sale by its private owner.
