Cumbres & Toltec Scenic has the former C&S Denver turntable from the 7th
Street facility.  It is 100 feet long, a through truss type and located in
Chama, New Mexico in dismantled condition.  They have no plans to use it.

>Was through Pen Argyl, PA a few weeks ago and took the opportunity to drive
in to the old Lehigh & New England RY facility there, particularly to check
on the status of the turntable and roundouse. The turntable bridge and deck
is still there, with all of its ancillaries; the pit has been filled in
around it, however, which might make reclamation difficult. I have no idea
of the length, but considering the size of some of the later road power, I
would expect that it would be 80-90 feet long. It would be nice to see it
preserved.
