This is the first in a series that will highlight railroad features around Chicago.

At the posted coordinates, look north, you will see a manual turntable and a small roundhouse.

The train would drive onto the turntable, men would use the 6" x 6" wood post to position the turntable so the train could drive into any door of the roundhouse.
Number of Stalls: 5

Currently in Operation: no

Year Built: Not listed

Visit Instructions:
