Sadly it is no longer in service :Sad:
Blame Hunter Harrison, cuts it down to 14 car's then abolishes it. I wonder if it'll ever be reinstated?
Depends on if they have the motive power. According to the railroad's official Twitter account, they're planning to be down to about 2,370 to 2,420 active locomotives on their roster by 2020. Currently, they're down to just 3,000 (less than EHH's original goal of 3,381).

For comparison, NS has 4,063 engines on their active roster (including 14 leasers).
Wait, they are still using them! WARNING: Video from Alan Smith skip to 3:28
Wouldn't be surprised if Tropicana reduced the number of them, or CSX quickly cleaned-up their act with Tropicana following Tropicana complaining and (at least threatening) stopping shipping by rail.
It's now mixed freight. IIRC before last year, the Juice Train was entirely cars for Tropicana with nothing more.

MOW equipment in Pakenham, Victoria. I often see them parked in this siding whenever I drive over the nearby crossing.

Looks like there's a bulb burned out right there.

It is blown, as I've seen it in person. Good on you Metro, you'll replace perfectly working hybrid bells but not fix blown incandescent globes. :Curse1:

One of the lights here was blown out for around two years. I can't remember if the light was replaced when I was last stopped by a train there.
