Other Interesting Turntable facts...
A 70 foot turntable was used to replace an ancient wooden structure over the Black River near Poland, which was the location where the Pere Marquette's branch line veered off to Sandusky. T. J. Gaffney, the Curator of Collections for the Port Huron Museum, guesses that the bridge was formally a turntable from the west side of the state, perhaps Manistee, Benton Harbor or Muskegon.
