Norton turntable

Thank you. I will model a pit with no turntable at Norton. 
The drawing on Page 108 of your book was very helpful for understanding the configuration at St Paul. I'm modeling the west leg and have the CRR and NW lines into St Paul disappear off the edge of my layout. The diagram on Page 107 appears to be a mirror image with north up and west to the right.

These were turned down, and if I remember correctly, management negotiated a deal with the Interstate Railroad to turn engines on their wye for 25 cents per engine. With this agreement in place there would be no need to retain the turntable, must less to the year 1980.
