Obviously, the roundhouse turntable at Huron, South Dakota. The question is - Did they have to turn the passenger car (a diner?) around after each trip? Is that what the men are doing here?

Tom Edwards: Since there isn't any wye track on the C&NW in Huron, this the only way to turn a car. BTW - the RCP&E, current owners of the roundhouse, have requested funds to build a new engine maintenance facility in Huron. The current turntable and roundhouse aren't big enough for some of their locomotives. They also plan on building a wye track on the east end of the yard. Here's a link to some more info: https://www.kccrradio.com/.../rapid-city-pierre-and.../ |

Here's what the former CNW roundhouse & turntable looks like a 100+ plus years after it was built today.

Across the tracks from the roundhouse, this town still has an old grain elevator.
Obviously, the bins no longer hold grain.
