I've been compiling turntables for several years and have just finished going through most of the Sanborn maps for NYS. This list is compiled from my own data, data previously posted on this site, many map resources, emails to "experts" on various railroads, and Michael Kudish's books.
As I get a railroad done, I'll post it here. These locations have been confirmed. A few still have no latitude/longitude as I was unable to get a good read on exactly where they were. One example of that is Ashford Jct on the BR&P. This TT pre-dated the East Salamanca shops. It's just not on maps but it is known to have existed.
Key:
Railroad Name
Town - Type of turntable setup - latitude/longitude
Type of turntable setup:
TT only - that's all there was
TT+EH - turntable and engine house
TT+RH - turntable with the classic, curved roundhouse. Some were just a few stalls, some were 360 degrees.
There are no dates, what happened to them, etc. This is just a list of where they were.
I have yet to finish NY City and redo Buffalo. Those affected railroads will come later in the list.
