A paper co. was storing paper for recycling in the old car-shops at PSC against city bylaws, and it all went up in smoke.

I am glad I was able to see the shops in August when we were in Montreal. Sad end for such a neat place. Are there any updates on the lokis and equipment that was stored there?

Cosmetic damage only according to the AMT. It won't take more than a week to put them back into service IMO.
