Comments on: The Trillium crew uses ex-Stelco 615 to shove BCOL 4624, CN 4100, IC 1506, and one pipe empty for Welded Tube down the Tube Spur from Southern Yard. K&K is scrapping the units along with many others at the former Martech / former Stelpipe facility in Rusholme Road. I pieced it together the other day that the former Stelco 53 was renumbered to 615 as that the address for the facility – 615 Rusholme Road. 615 died at the gates and was left like that overnight, and it looks like they had to use Welded Tube’s centrecab (MPRX 101) on Friday to put it away inside the building and finish their moves. It is my understanding that Trillium owns 615 now and use it for contract switching for Welded Tube and evidently for moving scrap units for K&K, but certainly open to discussion and further confirmation on that one.

Great news. More rail biz. We’ll just have to see how many buildings survive the demolition. With the real estate listings showing it still for lease I think only it will be a partial demo.

The lumber place has seemingly expanded their footprint onto the former Martech site and there is a loaded centrebeam on the track where the IC SW and CN GP9 in this photo had taken up residence previously. Two IC SWs, the GP9 and 615 are on the tracks where the Dash 8s had been.

I went by yesterday, what a sight to see it empty. I hope the lumber place expands and uses rail service! That would be nice.

The GMTX 340 is behind the GIO 108.

Which GMTX Mr Mooney? One of the Blueberries that CN bought? And the CN Geep, all the rest are still earning their keep. Must be a lemon.

A GMTX (GATX?) is in there as well behind the #108. All scrapping has been finished and the lumber place next door is expanding into the building.

So far nothing has come out to prove K&K has sold those two to Cando.. but it’s not out of the realm of possibilities. I know of some folks who were interested in buying them but could not get an agreement to do so…. K&K has really been getting into the re-sale business these last few years with their scrap buys.

And 4100 looks like it had a fresh coat of paint
