A crane picks the train up and turns it around

Oh here I thought the train was doing a 3 point turn

It actually waits until the next train is almost there, then makes a uturn directly in front of it

Wow, interesting. Are you really a SEPTA expert?
Haruomi_Sportsman t1_itzqq1p wrote
Yeah, I was a BUGCO (Big Underground Crane Operator) with SEPTA for 25 years. I was there when they finally stopped letting kids operate the crane and closed it to the public

I remember that! I remember listening to a Y100 interview of a BUGCO I had no idea our city had such a large crane and we hid it

They had a working model one at the Franklin Institute but removed it after The Incident.

No, it's a turntable. If you've ever seen the turntables they use in San Francisco to turn the cable cars, it's like that, only really, really, really big

No, actually the train stands up on one end and then lays down the other way.
