Railpictures.ca - Jacob Patterson Photo: In the heart of Steeltown! History rides the rails at the CN Steel Center in industrial Hamilton, where CN SW1200 7304 switches cars around the yard in front of Dofasco Central Shipping.To my knowledge, this was one of two SW1200′s on the CN roster, however, only CN 7311 (assigned to the steel transfer facility in Mac Yard) is on the roster. Can anyone clarify if the 7304 is owned by CN? | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Both should still be owned by CN, along with RT-110 (1394) that had been working at the recycling place at MacMillan Yard. They might be regarded as “trackmobiles” however (only used to switch/move cars around a local facility).

What’s more likely is the Steel Centre is wholly owned subsidiary of CN.

So the engine is assigned to the subsidiary, not to the Transportation department directly hence these do not show up on the CN roster.
