About a year ago, I remembered seeing some old rail equipment sitting near the former Atlas Steel site in Welland, so I decided to go check it out. There were a few locomotives, a former CP caboose, and some MOW equipment. The locomotive in the photo is a Bombardier HR-412, and was in the process of being scrapped, along with everything else on site. I walked around and took as many photos as I could. Before this unit was sold to Trillium, it served as power for a failed tourist line in Mattawa Ontario.

    Cool…Atlas Steels (now VASW) has been the molten steel burial ground for a lot of railway equipment

    Wow, wouldn’t have thought that engine was accessible from public property. FWIW, it hasn’t been scrapped yet.

    It’s not. This is private property.

    Also this unit wasn’t scrapped at that time. I believe it’s still at SLM recycling. Slm purchased all that equipment.
