No operating turntable at Rigby, you can cross that one of your list

Yes and no. While it no longer operates off of electricity, it is still used very often, but it's moved with a front end loader.

And there is an operating turntable at the Guilford East Deerfield MA engine house.

When did you see it last used? I worked out of Rigby from 11/05-4/06 and we didn't use it once, I do not even recall the leads being in service.

MOW forces use it for track equipment, such as Tampers, Ballast Regulators, etc. They still store them in the roundhouse. I have not seen any loco's on it in awhile though.

Active Turntables in the Chicago Area include:

CSX-Barr Yard (Riverdale, IL)
IHB-Gibson Yard (Hammond,IN)
EJ&E Kirk Yard (Gary,IN)

Is the air powered table still in use, at Mattawaumkeag? We used to run a loco onto it, hook up the MR hose, open the valve, and go putt-putt-putt around to turn our power, in the mid 80's.
