Comments on: Trillium brought up four boxcars and a flat car this morning for interchange in St Catherines. Knowing that the flat is most likely for Canadian Erectors, after a rather slow chase from Welland, Thorold and finally St Kitts, I was able to catch them making the drop inside the yard. This has been a shot I can finally get off my list. Now all I need is 108 to run.

I did dig deeper. The canerector shut down manufacturing in st Catharine’s but the office remained open. Fabrication likely moved to another facility.

They did open a structural steel facility aftet and is part of the canerectors group

I’d chalk this to an internal restructuring of canerectors business. They are still hunting for more acquisitions:

Nothing in the news, or on any Canerector page about this, and no company approved for CCAA as per https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/bsf-osb.nsf/eng/h_br02281.html

it might not be bankruptcy it might be a private re-structuring for all we know.

The updates are appreciated and I’ll dig deeper into this, will make a few calls in the morning to find out

By way of an update. Canadian Erectors is under Bankrupt protection and shut down at this point.
#108 is parked at the old Stelpipe plant near Welland, the plant is being demolished. 108 handles switching at CN Southern yard since the departure of MP15 #340

The 108 is still running almost daily in the Welland Pt Colbourne area. Trillium has a new operating base off of Phillips road south of the CP Welland Yard, a good place to start in the early light times lately

Carson an interchange is railway speak for a location where cars are interchanged between two railways.

I think by interchange Carson means to deliver to the customer.

As for 108, just come back in a few months or next year, perhaps 108 will be out at that time. Trillium certainly rotates their favourites.

the GMTX will be a big favourite now since it has air conditioning But then job 2 has to take the next ALCO

Just to keep the ducks in a row for anyone reading the caption, Trillium’s interchange is handled down at Feeder.
