I know that many, if not most trolley lines used a loop to turn cars at the end of the line, but the McKinney Avenue Transit operation in Dallas uses a turntable. I'm thinking of using one on one end of my trolley line on my layout. Are there any other prototype examples, past or present?

Dallas is the only streetcar turntable I can think of, but there could have been others.  Other turntables would have been the Waterloo Cedar Falls and Northern interurban in Iowa and the Milwaukee Road had a turntable for the electric locomotives in Tacoma, Washington.  Then there are the San Francisco cable cars on the Powel Mason and Hyde street lines.
