CSX Southwestern Ontario districts last mainline run on the original subdivision two (Sarnia Sub) to Wallaceburg. The line has been around and in use since the early 1900's by Pere Marquette followed by the take over of C&O and finally CSX. Seen here at the Wallaceburg Bridge is the last run from Sarnia to Wallaceburg and return on the OCS/ABS Sarnia Sub mainline with CSX GP38-2 #2574 as the power followed by CSX Caboose (shoving platform) #900074. Due to a derailment the day before and no way to run around the train here at Wallaceburg the crew was forced to bring along the caboose to use as a shoving platform. This topped off the last train like no other, mainline service with a caboose in 2013! Railfans, employees and fellow friends were out in numbers for this sad but special occasion with a solid goodbye to the line and employees who worked it. Many friends and people who worked the line are now without their jobs. A sad day indeed and a end of an era for the C&O er CSX here in Southwestern Ontario!
