Here tlie tanks are completely repairedand painted. Beyond this is a space which accommodatesabout 20 undcrframes which are set on wooden trestles, leav-ing an aisle in the center and at either end. This accountsfor the shop space ud to the place where the transverse trackfrom the turntable enters. Beyond this track are four setsof rails imbedded in the floor on which all truck repairs are.
