This is the Central of New Jersey Bethlehem turntable, not the Reading Saucon Creek turntable.

Chuck Killian: This is the CNJ engine terminal in Bethlehem, PA. There are several Reading T1’s visible, but no diesel power. The 4-8-4’s were built in 1945 and CNJ started buying road diesels in 1948, so the photo dates between those years.
Just a few facts for the few who still care about them.
