The Q certainly seems to have liked Lassig (Lassig was one of the
companies that merged to form American Bridge Co. in 1900)

The deck plate girder bridge over the Platte River on the Omaha line east
of Ashland has American Bridge/Lassig builder's plates, as does the Omaha
line Salt Creek truss bridge.

I didn't know that Lassig also built turntables.  Thank you for mentioning
that.  I have looked and asked around if Lines West had a turntable list,
but so far have not found or heard of one (yet).
