I took this photograph in early October of 1983 from the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Elsdon Yard embankment looking south. This facility dating back to the steam era, was in it's last week of operation. This EMD GP 38-2 may very well have been the "Last" diesel locomotive to be serviced at this old railroad roundhouse. The large building in the background, was a factory building that was "Redeveloped" during the early 1980's into a K-mart store and a mall.
