Lake Shore RR - Lakeport aerial picture
The turntable bridge has been removed and is laying alongside the pit. To try and date the picture, I sent it to a friend who is a former B&M employee and RR historian. His response is as follows:
"Looks like it was taken in the forties........When the 44 tonner (locomotive)was bought and replaced the steam switcher there was no more use for it..........The table would have turned the engines off the branch from Alton.........."
