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.

Remaining turntables in New England?

Turntable in Rumford Maine was removed 3-4 years ago and the pit filled in.
Noticed this one while chasing the WACR granite train yesterday in Montpelier:

That takes you to the Econo Lodge. This is what you want to see..
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.

It takes real skill to choke on air, fall up the stairs and trip over nothing. I have those skills.
we still seem not to know difference between turntables and roundhouses.
If Conductors are in charge, why are they promoted to be Engineer???
