Re: [CBQ] Plans or pictures for CB&Q "tall truss" turntable as used on Lines West.

["Michael Woodruff" <mwoodruff54@gmail.com>]

Bruce, let me know if you want the full-size jpeg file for the pic that Jack attached - pretty sure it is still on my hard drive someplace.  Also, that turntable was still sitting there as of Thanksgiving weekend when I drove by, and likely still is.  If you are anywhere close, you could go measure it and get some detail photos.  I'd offer, but it's a bit of a trek for me at the moment, although I'll probably be back up that way in April or May...

I am looking to build the turntable that was at Edgemont SD in the 1940's and looking for plans, pictures, or other information. The same design seems to have been used at multiple locations as I have a few pictures from Edgemont and Ravenna from J Hardy's book "Burlington Route West, a personal Journey".
The design looks to have girders under the tracks and then a steel truss bridge affair on each side outside of the ties. My biggest question is how the truss's were attached to the girders under the rails? Any thoughts would be helpful.
