The distance fromtlie center of the turntable to the inner wall of the round-house has been made great enough to give a 13 ft. clear dooro])cning without liaving the tracks cross before reaching theturntable, thus avoiding frogs which are expensive to main-tain. The 100-ft. turntable is ojierated by a 30 motor. A continuation of the , equivalent to four stalls,is now used in conjunction with the triangular portion of.
