There is a rebuilt turntable in Philips ME on the Sandy River RR. I didn’t see any mention of the remnants of the turntable located in Swanson VT located on the site where the former CV station was relocated. Also the the pit of a B&A turntable can be found up in St. Francis ME.

Turntable in Rumford Maine was removed 3-4 years ago and the pit filled in.

My Apologies, didn't notice that, was looking at the satellite visual. It's just east of Main Street, Montpelier.

Get your pictures everyone because I'm hearing the ruined remains of the Portsmouth, NH roundhouse and turntable won't be around for much longer. I guess the area has been rezoned for re-development along with road improvements to the area. It would be nice if the turntable could be saved somehow, first thought that comes to my mind is the Bartlett Roundhouse Preservation Society but as with everything in life, money does the talking, so I will take my railfan hat off and come back to reality.

See link for additional info.

we still seem not to know difference between turntables and roundhouses.
