Wow, there's some fond memories for me in that shot. The NP's Miss. St. Shops were where I ran my first engine at, one fine summer evening at the ripe old age of eight. Dad had taken me down there and the hostler was moving around a switch engine just like the 113 in Marty's shot and he invited us up in the cab and sat me down in the seat. Amazing how even though that was almost 50 years ago, I can rememebr it like it was yesterday.

My Grandfather worked down there for many years and was a machinist welder. I remember many times he would take me down there after he retired (1968) walking under the trains in the pits and riding the trains! wish I could find more photos of that facility.
