Here is a view of the old GRNR shop, which was once the focal point for the maze of electric electric rail in the area. Since it was dieselized in late 1961, it was reduced to a car shop. On April 19, 1992 it was reduced to rubble after a major fire roared thru the premises, the roof collapsed, and the building was razed.
