New Diesel Shop In Livingston Opens For NP Maintenance
Hundreds of Livingston residents toured the Northern Pacific diesel maintenance shop yesterday afternoon and evening. The event opened with a ribbon breaking by three young women as the first locomotive entered the 223 foot long building. Foreman Howard Rapp said the new five stall shop can service 15 to 20 diesel units, with outshelved track allowing total capacity of 35 to 40 units and marks a shift from steam to diesel power in early railroad operations.
