Does anyone know if there are any (if they even exist) shortline railroads that use Trackmobiles and only them for locomotives?

There are a few in Saskatchewan, Canada I don't know the names of these lines thow. I do know that they are older CN Branch Lines with 60l.b. Rail.

New Jersey Rail Carriers uses trackmobiles. They put together garbage container trains at the southern most tip of South Kearny, NJ. They interchange with NS and they are sent out to a landfill in Ohio. http://www.newjerseyrail.com. Don't be misguided by the pics on the website. They also have another operation at the BRI facility in Bridgewater, NJ. It's a relatively new operation so you won't see it on Google Earth. Just some of the tracks.

I love the picture of the SP boxcars on the site you linked. It's like they want it to seem like a picture of the cars they handle, and if they're getting wooden boxcars with manual brakes and friction bearings, I might have to take a trip down there.
