The main building or erecting shop, the one that is far enough along so as to give some idea of its immensity is 120 feet in width by 353J feet in length. It is subdivided into offices, with cloak room and engine room at the east end, and so planned that it is not necessary to go outside the building to get from one department to the other, transferring tracks leading from both the roundhouse and yards into the main shops. A large door leads from the engine room into the shops so as to admit the largest boiler when necessary to move it into the Bhop for repairs. The erecting shop will be supplied throughout with elevated travelling hoists so that any heavy piece of machinery can be moved to any point in the building with ease. This is a new feature and these deferential hoists will be capable of picking up an engine and whirling it along to wherever the workmen want it.
