Louisville & Nashville terminal in Hazard KY is getting an enlarged turntable in 1948 for the new M-1 class 2-8-4s.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Tim's post
The turntable was a little east of today's yard office, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Hxnn36aqTgtQ7fBE9. And the coaling tower was south of the turntable. 1952 aerial

The railyard still has most of its classification tracks.

The topo map did not accurately mark the roundhouse. That is unusual for a topo map.
