Two steam cranes are used to lower a section of the new turntable at Minturn into the turntable pit. In 1928, a new 120-foot turntable was set in place, replacing the old 100-foot table installed in 1912. The older turntable could not accommodate the 3600-series simple-articulated locomotives assigned to the area. The coaling tower is visible on the right. Two water towers are also visible along with the roundhouse. Printed on July 2, 1928.
