The posts below about helpers and engine crews got me to thinking about turning engines. I supposed there was a wye at Gato, where engines from Durango could turn to act as a westbound helper. Were there other places to turn on the line from Chama to Durango, or to Farmington.
Were there ever turntables at any of these points besides Durango and Chama?
