A while ago, I recall seeing a photo of the turntable at 72nd Street on the west side of Manhattan. Does anyone remember seeing such a photo and if so, where. I would really like to see it again. Thanks!

Great photo Terry - thanks! For some reason on my computer the image came up quite fuzzy but the zoom brings it into sharper focus. A maze of tracks, several steamers - I spent about 10 minutes on it. And note the rather unusual place to tie up cabooses - way out at the end of the pier.

Terry,

Thanks! That is the photo I was referring to. I couldn't remember where I saw it.
