| Charlie Easton posted Not sure how to share this but this is an active turntable in Brittain Yard in Akron. Brittain Yard is just east of Akron and the area known as Brittain has been totally absorbed by the city. An interstate highway passes just south of this and about the best glimpse you can get at speed is not something you would recognize as a turntable. The roundhouse was torn down in stages and is completely gone. This was built by AC&Y and currently is used by W&LE (1990 iteration) In order to get a picture of I'd have to snap one out of the window at 70mph (I can't drive -----55 - me an Sammy Haha) or trespass through somebody's backyard or buy a drone which, according to my calculations, is more costly than Google Earth. So if you'll excuse a Google Earth photo, here 'tis. |
