Pictured from the platform of the Sarnia VIA station is this motly collection of motive power at the Lambton Diesel Specialists shop located in the leased Sarnia CN roundhouse built around 1890. CN 7311 is the last CN SW1200 officially on the roster and leased to the CN Steel Center at Vaughan. It's shown here after repairs, waiting for pickup by a local which happened within an hour. 18 hours later it will be back in Toronto as it was lifted by 509 then taken to Toronto on 434 with no delay. A number of other LDS locomotives are shown: Former CN 4100 is now in GIO grey, the Stelco locomotive in behind is also painted now, and the two IC SW14's are currently being worked on as they were in this photo. The GP9 in the background bounces around and has already seen service at local industries.

    That WSOR geep was sitting in Southern yard a couple days ago. Not sure of its destination

    Could be headed to Oxy but southern yard screams it’s going for GIO use on the Tubes spur.. we’ll have to see where it ends up.

    I wonder if 108 is having issues?

    I’m almost wondering if it’s send down as compensation for not having 4100 in working order. They’ve been dealing with a great deal of trouble from it.

    I gather that LDS is off limits for photographers…has anyone tried (for a release)?
