I haven't been to the turntable myself since about 1983, and even then, some folks had started to cut away some of the metal parts; several of the small wheel castings at the central pivot point had already been removed. As far as access from the Corkscrew Gulch Jeep Road, while it MAY be possible, it would be highly risky as there is a deep gulch to cross as well as a usually fast running stream. It would be a very difficult down, then up, hike. The very best way in is via the railroad grade itself.
