Courtesy local history photographer, these pictures from inside the Canadian Northern Railway Maintenance Shop on Laird Drive at Esandar Drive. The site seems destined very soon to become part of a retail commercial development on the large property, with the old heritage building itself converted, at least in part, into a Longos Food Market. Picture at upper right shows a couple of the large doors which permitted steam locomotives to enter the shop. There are twelve doors altogether, as the exterior picture at the upper left shows. Lower left, looking north with the doors on the left side of the picture. Lower right, spacious old building will easily permit construction of a second level. Inside the Laird Drive locomotive shop
