Re: Three Sheds for Waynesboro

[NW Modeling List]

Jim,
     The motor car shed was a bit north of the "Southbound" siding in my time out there. I don't know if it was the same building.. It was on the west or GE side of the tracks. Incidently, at one time GE had a small shed up there that contained their own Hot Box Detector.
