Turntable

The 70' turntable, used to turn locomotives, or any other vehicle, can be seen here, with 5572 and 6101 in the background. The turntable can either be moved by pushing the poles which can be seen in their stored position, or winding the handle via some gears. The current turntable is not the original one, that was a 65' over girder type, removed before the GWS had the site.
