Here's some photos of the ATSF turntable at the ABQ Shops back in 2018. Recently the crew of the 2926 restoration has cleaned up the turntable and got it operational again. They have some videos of all the work and moving the TT on their YT channel. A lot of dirt was shoveled out of the pit, weeds removed, trash cleaned out, gears greased, and motor serviced after years of neglect.
The plan is to use it as an attraction for the city as part of the Shops restoration project and to run the ATSF 2926 over there and turn it. The city also wants to rebuild the smoke stack that used to be there. Not sure what they mean by "rebuild" it because it has been gone since the 80s. They will have to build a new one from scratch.
This entire area has been fenced off by the city as private property and filming studio location. BNSF employees used to be able to drive right in and around there but not any more. Now we have to walk quite aways when building the vehicle and baretable trains.
