| Richard Crabtree posted We are going to need a bigger Turntable! Here we see the installation of a roundhouse turntable from the American Bridge Company at the Denver & Rio Grande Western Burnham Shops. Denver, Colorado April 29 1940 Photo George Lytle Beam DPLDC Myron Moyano: Now the turntable is at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL. Richard Crabtree shared Mark Locke: Is this the same turntable that was acquired by IRM ? John E Bush: Mark Locke No, theirs is from Chicago area. Dennis DeBruler: John E Bush IRM did get the Burnham Shops turntable, https://www.irm.org/turntable/. The turntable that was in the Milwaukee Bensenville Yard went to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America’s Silvis, Ill., facility (RRHMA). |

It appears that there was a transfer table in the shops.

At first, I thought there were two transfer tables. But only the east/west light rails would have been a transfer table. The north/south light rails are elevated, and they are for an overhead crane. We can still see the crane at the south end of the rails.

I see the coaling tower peaking around the water tower, but I don't see the roundhouse.
