Grapevine (TX) Vintage Railroad -- Turntable at Fort Worth Stockyards

This is video from 20 June 2009 as the GVRR diesel engine is turned around in preparation for the afternoon return trip from Forth Worth to Grapevine. (Note the mechanical bull ride in progress at the start of the video.)

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad travels along the historic Cotton Belt Route between Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Railroad is serviced by two vintage locomotives - "Puffy" the 1896 steam locomotive, which is the oldest continuously operating steam engine in the South, and a 1953 GP-7 diesel locomotive. Passengers enjoy riding in authentic 1920s and 1930s Victorian-style coaches as they take a step back in time and experience train travel as it was in the glory days of the expanding west.

Was there a rounhouse where this turntable is located? I see a small brick wall that could have been where a roundhouse was located.
