These walls of glass are really striking. Why were they built this way? According to one reference (Priest, 2001):

The locomotive repair shop was divided into four bays and covered an area of 3.5 acres. The erecting bay was located adjacent to the transfer table. Next was the heavy machine bay, followed by the light machine and bench bays. The most noteworthy feature of the building was the use of glass from sill to cornice on nearly every side. In addition, A-shaped sky-lights were installed at 22 foot intervals over the heavy and light machine bays as well as the balcony floor. This provided both natural lighting and ventilation.
