CSX Y190 is heading back to the Depot/Roundhouse in Sarnia passing by SW8 DESX 7731 which is parked at the south end of OWS Railcar in Sarnia. I don't know where this thing is, or if it's even still there. But here's a picture of it when it was at Agrium in Kapusskasing area. and if you want to see more on this locomotive, check out old time trains. The DESX builders plate on this unit calls it a SW900 with a rebuild date of August 30 2014.

    Also note top right: that’s the Pere Marquette/c&o/csx depot.

    What’s old is new again. Never thought I’d see a new building and auto racks on the old Mueller Brass property !!!

    They’ve been doing lots of investment in that building.

    OWS Sarnia re-structured under a new name though

    Other than that locomotive which is pictured in one of the above links, I’m not aware of any locomotive repair going on there yet.
