High quality photographs and video of CP's St Luc shops, Montreal, 17 June 2008. Many thanks to all the CP employees who made our visit so interesting and informative.
David Othen Yes, good point. A shop building that high and wide with big smooth walls will provide PLENTY of reverb for loud noises. A continuously ringing bell would become annoying very quickly.
Kyle Tourneur Usually 408 from Moncton arrives between 3 & 5am and departs as 407 between 6 & 8 am. 511 leaves Dartmouth yards about 7:30 am and picks up empty gypsum cars before going to the mine at Milford arriving there about midday and returning about 1 our late arriving in Dartmouth about 2:30pm. The local switchers to Burnside (503) leaves about 7am and works there until about 1pm and then returns to Dartmouth Yards before getting a new crew and going to Autoport.

I don't remember encountering the lingo _diesel shop_
Impressive. Shop looks organized and kept clean and maintained. Why was the buzzer going off?
ACLTony To warn staff that a locomotive is moving into or out of the shop
David Othen Thank you. Makes sense as I can imagine that a locomotive horn blast inside that shop would very likely blow out or damage some ear drums!
ACLTony Even a locomotive bell might be hard on the ears.
David Othen Yes, good point. A shop building that high and wide with big smooth walls will provide PLENTY of reverb for loud noises. A continuously ringing bell would become annoying very quickly.
ACLTony Agreed.
Good times pre Hunter!
