Talk about a busy turntable! The Erie Railroad had one of the more colorful histories, with railroad barons, huge accidents, financial catastrophes, and design blunders that astound and amaze. Here is a prime example. Very few back shops would place so much responsibility on one turntable! This is Meadville, PA in 1922.

Attached Sanborn map. I combined 2 maps into 1 for the book I was writing. From 1922.

There are also HAER photos for some of the buildings: 1, 2 and 3.
