The old turntable pit is the arched concrete area to the right behind the tree in the right foreground.

Yes, the concrete is the footprint (foundation) of the old roundhouse building. The turntable pit was filled in sometime between 1940 and 1958. A map from 1953 shows the old roundhouse being owned by the Alpha Cellulose Corp.
