Remarks & Notes 
”Right ‘Round Like a Record, Baby”

Amtrak’s Redondo Junction engine facility is the former Santa Fe Redondo Junction roundhouse. While the roundhouse is gone, the turntable is still in place. On April 15, 2017, back-to-back F59PHIs 451 and 456 take a spin in order for 451 to deposit 456 on one of the whisker tracks for maintenance. (Four years earlier, this turntable looked more as it did in the old days when Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751 was turned.) Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE.

In rail terminology, a railway turntable or wheelhouse is a device for turning railway rolling stock, usually locomotives, so that they can be moved back in the direction from which they came. If I run into a transfer table, that might get included.
