A turntable is a device for horizontally turning rail vehicles, less often road vehicles. This process was primarily performed on steam locomotives with a tender, which can only run in the forward direction at their maximum speed.
Eine Drehscheibe ist eine Einrichtung zum horizontalen Drehen von Schienenfahrzeugen, seltener von Straßenfahrzeugen. Dieser Vorgang wurde vor allem bei Dampflokomotiven mit Schlepptender durchgeführt, die nur in Vorwärtsrichtung mit ihrer Höchstgeschwindigkeit fahren können. Wikipedia
The turntable at the NS Juniata Locomotive Shops was empty the last time I visited, but the S&A heritage unit is on one of the tracks, awaiting service.

By the year 1990, the sanding tower and turntable were all that remained of the steam era maintenance facility in the joint Union Pacific - Utah Railway yard in Provo, Utah. New comfort cab EMD and GE units await assignment the morning of July 7th.

The Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen is a railway museum situated south of the city of Bochum in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was founded by DGEG, the German Railway History Company in 1977 and is based in a locomotive depot that was built between 1916 and 1918 and ceased operation in 1969. Then DGEG took over the whole area of 46.000 m2 and built up the biggest railway museum in Germany. In the middle of the museum, there is an engine shed with fourteen tracks. A preserved turntable, coaling, watering, and sanding facilities are still in operation. This museum is integrated into The Industrial Heritage Trail (Route der Industriekultur) a route of monuments from the history of the industry.
