Caption: Turntable
Additional Description: The gallows style turntable was built for the PMRR in 2002 and dedicated July 4 of that year. Although based on the design of the Laws, California, turntable, it is two-thirds the size at 35 feet long. This is one of only five Gallows turntables operating in California. Operated by hand, the turntable is used to reposition equipment from one track to another. It is also used to turn equipment 180 degrees for reverse running to equalize wear on the wheels and track.
