No half-century celebration booklet would be complete without photographs of the people who have devoted so much time and energy at the St. Luc Diesel Shop.
 
Long before the expression 24 and 7 came into being, the St. Luc Diesel Shop was experiencing it. Hundreds of men and women have contributed their skills and expertise to make the St. Luc Diesel Shop into the great place it is. Some of the people who began their career at the diesel shop have gone on to other places, however, many more have stayed. In some instances, you have had 2nd or 3rd generation of families working at the diesel shop and on occasion, between Angus Shops and St. Luc Diesel Shop, whole families have worked for the railway. Such is the case with the Touchette family which consists of:  Jacques, a machinist with 35 years of service, Raymond, also a machinist with 24 years, Yvon, an electrician with 7 years, Lucien, the father, a carman with 21 years, Jean, a carman with 31 years, and Gilles, an electrician with 31 years. With almost 150 years of service between them, it adds to an incredible CPR tradition.
