Behind the doors for the last time, M420's 647 and 646, now lettered for CFS (Sartigan Railway) are about to be removed from the shop as they are being shipped out to Quebec via CN. This engine house was usually filled to the gills with locomotives but with jobs already on duty there was some room to see inside a bit more. This shop was owned by OSR but was sold by them (Along with the yard office) to the Guelph Junction Railway fairly recently and is planned to be leased out. The VHA has been painting some coaches in here over the last few months. A few days after this photo, CN would finally grab these two from the interchange only to leave them behind in XV yard for a few days.

    Both of these have been repainted into Sartigan colours recently.

    2044 was painted and released in October 2021, so it’s been a while.

    For 2044 it has. 2047 was in for painting in the last few weeks.
