Turn Table Project
 

This project has been a long time coming. After much consideration, the decision was made to use the cylinder lift and bridge that was acquired with the Lakeshore and Lyndon Central Railroad. The project is far from over but after several years of laying on the ground, the cylinder and bridge are once again installed in the ground.
