TEXAS STATE RAILROAD #28 in Maydelle on the turntable
Aaron McCreight
I remember being enthralled by railroad turntables at an early age. They used to be fairly common, not as common as kitchen stoves or even locomotives, but every major railway depot had one. They are very simple in concept, but massive in construction. There are not too many of them around now, which I suspect is why this one caught my eye. Here it is on Google Maps:
