Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum
The Turntable / Roundhouse


Have you ever wondered how something as large as a steam engine is turned around so that it's ready to go again? And what about storing the engines? How do they get into their positions in the roundhouse? Here you can see an engine going onto the turntable, then the table turns round so that the engine can back into the roundhouse.
