Turntable

"Sunday, August 13, 1939
Train on turntable
ready to go in roundhouse
Detroit, Mich
Taken off from Ambassador Bridge"

A little something for the railfans, today. In the near foreground is a bit of the Pere Marquette's enormous roundhouse, and off beyond the turntable is just a wee piece of PM's also-enormous riverfront yard.

I rather like the bridge shadow on the roof and tracks.

The bridge was about a decade old when this photo was taken. The roundhouse, which predated the bridge, is long gone, now. The still-large yard is just a shadow of its former self.
