There is still one at the Pontiac Yard for locals to use, there is also one at the facility next to the GM Poletown plant for certain Detroit jobs to use, and there is one at the southwest end of Flat Rock Yard that is by the engine shop when not in use. The one in Pontiac gets used quite a bit on the old Cass City Sub switching the GM plants. Not so sure about the Detroit caboose.

I've seen one once in a while on MOW movements down here, but don't know if it's based in Michigan, or somewhere between here and Chicago.
