Hi Bill, Great pic! The pit can be shallow if the girder is above it. There's no snow here, so my guess is that the pit is shallow to stay above the high water table in the Tacoma tideflats, where this was taken.

Many turntables had their support structure above the rails – girder, truss and gallows. I have attached a photo of a turntable in Tacoma, WA that I hope comes through... Have fun!
