    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Picture Theatres of Australia, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Even today we use this system to reverse the locomotive of the train, only to change the mode rather than manually, but mechanical.

    Wow, I know those tables were balanced so one could push it, but that looks tough!

    I've never seen a small turn table off of a siding like this, I've only seen turntables in front of a roundhouse... Then again, I'm not that familiar with foreign railroads.
  • Hanover Fiste of Mad City said:
    Just from the feel of this photo I'm betting that this is a reprint of an earlier shot; 1960 just seems to be WAY too late for this scene!

    I'd subtract maybe 30 - 40 years from that.

    Gavno, earliest O'Dea photos we have are June 1937; very latest 1971. Know what you mean about the feel of the photo, but have to say that the dating on O'Dea Collection is usually spot-on...

    According to www.angelfire.com/nj2/piratejim/nycamhistory.html "During the mid-1940's, some of the biggest names in popular music became disc jockeys on WMCA. Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey played their own and others' records, announcer Andre Baruch and singer Bea Wain became "Mr. & Mrs. Music," and "Symphony Sid" Torin had an "all night, all frantic" jazz program starting in 1948."
