End of the line for the Motive Power Shed






Well it looks like the old round house / car repair shops days are numbered. CN terminated the lease with the city and gave them until February 5 to vacate the property. Rumor has it that the building will be demolished shortly after to make room from a trans-loading terminal in its place. So get out there and get your photos before it becomes just another memory.

Hi Scott, I have a photo of CN 7002taken from the departing Rupert Rocket in 1985, and it's peeking out of the engine house door while the building was still in use by CN.

Season's greetings to you and yours, and thanks for being a Trackside Treasure blog partner in 2010. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2011.
Eric
