Caption: Some of Southern Ontario RaiLink's small fleet of switchers congregate in the SOR/CN Stuart Street yard awaiting their next assignments. Units shown are ex-CN SW1200RS 1367, 1359, 1201 (renumbered ex-CN 1335), and 1285. There were a few other switchers SOR owned, including 1311 (derelict, scrapped 2001), 1348 (bent frame, scrapped 2005), and the oddball ex-SW13B 1200 (scrapped 2008).
1367 was transferred to an operation in the US in 2005, and 1201, 1285 & 1359 remained on the SOR, although by the mid-late 2000's most were out of service and stored (1359 was reactivated in 2008). All three remaining SW1200RS units were sold to LDS around 2010-2011, who overhauled them and sold them off.
