Victoria Turntable

Victoria Turntable

The Turntable at Victoria. Just large enough handle the RDC's. It was originally built in 1913 as a "strong-arm" turntable, but after many complaints CP added a steam engine on one end. Today that engine is powered by compressed air from the compressor in the roundhouse or from the brake line on the RDC's. Recently they've been using air from the brake line on the RDC's as the air tank in the roundhouse needs replacement.
