Thanks for all the comments on Belmont.

I have a newspaper report contemporaneous with the completion of the tunnel
that refers to trains reversing the length of the finished track, so there
does not appear to have been a turntable or wye prior to the track to
Crawford being completed.  The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley crossed
the B&MR at Crawford, and a wye was created there at some stage.

The topography of Belmont is comparatively hilly (and hence the reason for
the tunnel) with the yard  being positioned between two hills.  Creating a
wye for turning the two Crawford helpers would have entailed considerable
earthworks to produce a level track bed.
