nigell, Most engines are turned (the term we use <br />on the railroad}. by a track wye. the engine moves <br />at a 90 degree curve to the right then backs over <br />to theleft swicth then moves 90 degree to the left <br />which in turns the engine 180 degrees. most railroads today dont have turn tables because <br />theyre to labor intense.
