An armstrong (man powered) turntable would have extended push bars at each end for a man or men to to rotate the bridge. So that piece of equipment with the motor and gears was probably the power source. To whoever commented concerning salvage copper: Shame on you! There's a special place in the basement of hell for people who vandalize historic artifacts. Concerning old rails: After about 1885, rails were marked with year and month of manufacture and the name of the maker. Count the hashmarks to determine the month.

4:17 is that an electric motor? Maybe great copper there.

If the trains were still running, I would go there and spend money, Route 16 is the highway to hell.

Line was last run by one of the two Wolfeboro scenic railways, who rebuild the wooden part of the turntable. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfeboro_Railroad . Thanks, I haven't seen the turntable since I last rode the line as a kid.
