West coast American here. Is this where GMDD trade-ins are parted out and/or scrapped? And is that an RS10 to the left?

The shot is made even sadder by the snow on the hulks.  Rare to see one of CNR's freight C-Liner B-units.

I recall about this time seeing rows of passenger equipment which was being scrapped. I remember the sad sight of some old sleepers that appeared to have been burned out, leaving only the metal shell.

I think the answer is no to your GMD question.  The London reclamation yard reclaimed parts and then scrapped all sorts of CLC and MLW units that were not related to the nearby GMD locomotive plant.  Most of the CLC units were equipped with Westinghouse electrical gear that GMD would have had no use for and not accepted.

I can remember seeing a few trade-in hulks at the MLW plant around the time of the C-424 orders but not later.
