A standard gauge track runs in at thewest end of the girder shop, enablingthe 30-ton cranes to load the heaviestmembers direct on to flat cars. Allshops are fully served by industrialtracks of 30-inch gauge. Raw material is taken from the stockyard at the east end of the shops andpasses through step by step to the west at present temporarily located in thegirder shop, but will eventually be re- an 84-in. gate shear with capacity toI1 pin. plate, by the Canada Machinery.
