Todd R asked:
How do you turn a steam or diesel engine around if you have no turn table. Example is the Durango Silverton Railroad. Durango has turn table and housing for the engines but Silverton doesn’t. So with no turn table how do you turn the steam engine and even the whole train around? Is there a large rail loop that the train goes around and even with large freight trains now days how do you turn around.
