Quote:I am not an expert on logging railroads, but I think that most of them didn't use turntables and the logging locos just ran back and forth. One of the reasons is that the logging rails were often relocated to different parts of forests, and rebuilding a turntable at each new location would be costly and time consuming, as well as eating up a wider spot of land. I'm sure there are probably some logging railroads that did use turntables, but I think for the most part the did not.
