3809 on Turntable

ENR 3809 sits, almost on the turntable after shoving 6148 into the roundhouse. There were 4 cars between the locomotives and the 6148, they shoved 6148 right to the back of the Machine shops that are located behind the roundhouse. The turntable still works too, it's used to turn the RDC's to even out wear on the wheels. When there was regular freight service to Victoria, until 2001, when they ran with a single unit, they'd turn it on the turntable for the return trip. In fact, the 3870 was the last locomotive to be turned on the Turntable back in 2001.
