It looks like Amtrak once used the ATSF shop, which I believe is now the site of the newer part of Chinatown including the outside mall, and perhaps Ping Tom park. Am I correct? Were there two shops at one time, PRR at ATSF?

I'm not really an expert on this, but I think that Amtrak used a facility along the Santa Fe main between Corwith and downtown. ai am also unsure if the line even connects still on the east end. All interchange is done via IHB, BRC, or the connections on the south end of Corwith.
