Since most Short line railroads I would think would not have the equipment to rebuild a locomotive ,where would the loco be sent ?
To a nearby larger railroad with the proper facilities and willing to do it or more likely today to a locomotive rebuilder. Some I found with a Google search:
National Railway Equipment Company
RELCO Locomotives, Inc.
Marlowe Marine Service
Republic Locomotive
Turner Locomotive
Casey Associates
Progress Rail
I concur with the info in the earlier post, but must point out that one rebuild company is located at the end of a short line. The company is CLCX,LLC and they are found at the northern dead end of the Pickens RR in South Carolina.

Thanks For the Info .
