Watertown Tennessee bought a round table, and relocated it, so the steam locomotive they are restoring will have a turn about for its future as an tourist excursion steam train. When's the last time a round table was made for a steam train?


The locomotive will be operated by the Nashville Steam Preservation Society in partnership with the Tennessee Central Railway Museum and RJ Corman Railroad Group, Bryan said. 

The locomotive is currently being restored at the Tennessee Central Museum in Nashville.

“The turntable will serve as both a historical and operational asset to the future operation of No. 576,” Bryan said. “It will give our passengers a first-hand view of the infrastructure that was needed to operate trains in the steam era and will allow the steam engine to pull trains both to and from Nashville."

      Ok, but, that doesn't answer my question "When's the last time a round table was made for a steam train?"
      I didn't ask who still uses steam locomotives, that would be India, that's my guess.
      So, no matter who was the last to make and use steam locos, they had been using the same round tables for decades or centuries, see what I mean, and using old round tables is counter to my question of when the last time a round table WAS MADE, see?
