Comments on: The work day is over for the crews on the CSX “Canadian” district. Here we find a pair of the regularly assigned GP38-2′s #2574 and #2579 resting beside the engine shop at Sarnia, Ontario. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Erieau to Blenheim abandoned in the mid 1970's otherwise the line is intact (but partially abandoned with track still in place as of early 2017). The interesting part about this engine house is it should date to when the Erie and Huron was first constructed. Not too many original engine shops still around that aren't considered replacements, the only major change with this house is it was once about twice its size and reduced over the years, turntable pit is filled in under the ballast and rails on the south side somewhere.
