Where,  exactly, were the turntables in Ripplemead and Narrows? 


Bruce:
I don't know about Ripplemead.  The Narrows Branch  tied
in to N&W on the south side of the right-of-way, west  of
Narrows, west of Wolf Creek,  at the foot of a sizeable  cut.
A track chart of the branch shows no turntable in  the vicinity
of Narrows.  The timetable indicates the mixed train  for
Suiter originated at Narrows JCT.  My guess is that  Narrows
Jct. was near the crossing of state route #651, and that  the
turntable was located there.
