    Wracking my brain on this one. Have seen it previously, while searching for something else. Cannot recall where. ARGH.

    I don't have the slightest clue where this place is. You guys are hanging around trains too much.

    But I always look. My question is: What is the "line" that looks like train tracks intersecting the very top of the turntable? It's almost tangent to the turntable. How can it go into the pit like that?

    I would think those are power lines, passing overhead.

    As I noted earlier, I stumbled across it in an earlier contest search. But my memory fails me from that point.... :(

    yeah I went the opposite. I figured it was to green not to be Texas, so I started with the Texas State Railroad, but I found it wasn't it, so I searched "turntable" in the wikimapia searchbox and this was the first thing to show up :p
