Hi Tim, not real sure about modern railroads using turntales any more, though I'm sure a very few remain. Most modern railroads use "Wyes" to turn a train around if needed, But I wouldn't think that this is a real common thing to do since most consists are made up of engines facing opposite directions. Someone who knows more may correct me. But I'msure they would need to turn them for certian types of maintance. That's the best I can tell you...........Jamie
