Turntable at Lyons Yard, Westville, Illinois. Don't remember the date, but probably early 70s.
Mike Roegner: Originally New York Central Cairo Division (built @1906) , then Penn Central. I'm not sure if Lyons lasted til the Conrail years. Once the coal from southern Illlinois ran out traffic dwindled.
