Turntable and roundhouse

This is a working turntable, still used for its original purpose of moving locomotives and wagons, not tourists. The roundhouse is enormous; there were 18 locomotives that had been moved into the central part of it since last weekend, when an old car show had been held there, and doubtless many more in the side sections, which weren't open to the public.

Interesting image because of the many lines and the symmetry in the building! V

Excellent Pov, Helen. I really like this comp. The turntable really looks lengthy for the engines that you have shown previous in this gallery. Well thought out image. V.
