John,

I apologize for the delay in responding, but I finally got around to doing some research because I did not know the answer to your question right off my head.

A search of the Archives documents yielded only Dwg. F23395, Location of Shop Buildings Auville Yard, Rev. 1/5/25, which shows the location of two coal hoists serving the "Eng Track," but I turned up no photos.

I wish I could report more, but that is all that I could find.

Gordon Hamilton
