This month's Railway Legends, Myths, and Stories is about how you get a train to point in the direction you want it to go.



The preview picture is of me at the turntable at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City. I have really helped turn a piece of railway equipment on that turntable. It's not as hard as it looks, as long as you get the equipment properly balanced on the turntable. Lisa and I (and Kuma) have also experienced one of the other ways of turning a train, as we have rode on the balloon track at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, California.
