Comments on: LDSX 7224 with slug LDSX 269 exits Feeder Yard ( Feeder Rd E MP: 0.16) with the retired Dash 8 CN 2434 (part of the infamous July funeral train) and a large cut of tank cars for Verbio Diesel Canada. After servicing Verbio, CN 2434 would be delived to SLM Recycling, Welland joining several other retirees already spotted on the adjoining track, immediately outside of the SLM compound plus a BC unit on the inner track. Now with JLCX seemingly positioned in the back pasture, LDSX 7224 and 269 should take on regular duties along with the more experienced Alco 1859.

They set off the dash 8 at Verbio and went to Vesuvius within that timeframe.

I did a drive-by SLM on Thursday morning, the 2137 and 2098 were first up in the north end of the former service track separated by a tank. Two tracks with maybe four units each sitting back in the weed covered tracks on SLM/Atlas property next to four former TRRY units. I took a drive by WR Yard just tanks and hoppers. Looking south from Humberstone Road across the bridge toward VerBio I could see a former CN unit(s) in the distance. After lunch two more units and the two from the service track had been spotted at SLM/Atlas property. I missed that move.

WR Yard is south of Ontario St and parallel to Deere St in Welland to be specific!

WH yard is over the canal bridge used by Trillium, right behind the radio station!

Thank you – I should get a car control diagram out and study – chances are WR, WH etc is all spelled out there

The tracks at SLM usually only hold one or two units at a time.
They scrapped some CP SD40′s awhile back but only 1-2 at a time.

That makes sense … one over the Dain bridge at a time. However, no not delivered to SLM at once. Several have been delivered as noted, only BC Rail 4607 inside the compound, CN 2434 on Aug 3rd as pictured and CN 2098 sometime thereafter albeit still sitting on the main between tank cars, etc.

They are taken over the Dain bridge one at a time. The guys told me they took a bunch and left them west of the bridge on the main. Then moved them one at a time over to WR yard and then took them all to SLM at once.

Perhaps this one was a later consideration.
