operating rr turntables in the usa

Correction: The museum's TT is in operating condition. The TT at the ex-UP shops was supplanted by the transfer platform when the roundhouse was taken down. It is, however, intact and operable but not in use, which I guess places it somewhere in between OOS and operable.

I believe that the indoors turntable at the B&O museum in Baltimore is also operable.

The turntable at the B&O museum is functioning once again. It's also a unique design, being a non-mechanical, full enclosed, wooden passenger car turntable.

You sure about that one in Enola? I've had to bring power of the pit in Enola quite a few times, and don't ever remember seeing a turntable there.

There was one in Conway, PA some time ago ... don't know if it's still there or not.

Yup, still one in Enola. It is back there behind the shops on the east end of the diesel outbound. It is not used very often, but occasionally something goes for a spin

A railroad museum in Savannah, GA has a turntable.

Also, aerial views of the turntable in Oyster Bay, LI, NY show that it no longer has tracks connected to it,

[Moved to General Discussion: Railroad Operations and Facilities because this very broad question is not limited to only New Jersey - omv]

WSOR has one in Janesville WI at their rondhouse. I have to check, but I think it dates back to the early 1900's

There's one in North Creek NY at a tourist operation. UHRR maybe? They restored it about 5 years ago.

Upper Hudson River RR in North Creek, NY and soon to be Connecticut Eastern RR Museum...

Burlington, Vermont; Saint Albans, Vermont and Bellows Falls, Vermont
although the Bellows Falls facility is just across the river in New Hampshire
in Walpole maybe.
A few years ago there were quite a few turntables remaining in Maine
especially on the former Bangor and Aroostook, I wonder how many of
them remain today?

Thanks for the info Jayjay ... I don't get over there very often. I try to avoid Enola as much as I hate going into Oak Island.

BNSF's Clyde Diesel Facility in Cicero, IL(Chicago) has one as does the CN (IC) Woodcrest facility.

CP has one in Bingo.
WMSR in Frostburg.

Clovis, N.M. has the Santa Fe one there. Brooklynn Yard, in Portland. Oregon Electric Yard, in Albany, Or. BNSF in Silsbee, Tx. (now Timber Rock) Soo Line Shoreham Shops, Minn., Mn. are a few not listed, that come to mind.

The Union Railroad in Pittsburgh, PA has a turntable at our Hall roundhouse.

It is operational and in service.

Regarding operating turntables, or at least turntables that are still in place in the state of Maine that I know of:
Rigby, So. Portland
Waterville
Rumford
Bucksport
Calias(Non operating)
Unity(armstrong)
As far as the old B&A, I don't get up to that part of the state enough to keep up with the changes, so I can't answer that one.
