It seems that every plant in the country is either in the process of upgrading, has already upgraded, or will upgrade soon. Also, I thought the Braidwood system was replaced a few years ago. I do remember seeing a T-135 that looked fairly new back in 2006. Not totally sure what road, but west of Shorewood. Possibly eastern Kendall County.
Edit: Found it, it's on County Line Road just north of Jefferson.
Yeah, the Braidwood system is all T-128s/T-135s now aside from 2 P-15s that might've possibly been replaced by now. And that T-135 you mentioned that was fairly new in 2006 was the one that was replaced, which happens to be the same one in this picture.

I'll let you know if anything changes before then. Maybe you can catch the Modulator at Sabic at the same time.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Well I found another P-15 has been replaced. It was along Frontage Rd. on I-55 just south of the Joliet Arsenal. It was BD 01. Now a new T-128 stands in its place. That leaves just 1 P-15 left in Braidwood or Dresden. Fortunately, I found 5 of the 6 remaining P-50s for Dresden are still standing today. So far, I've seen no changes to La Salle's system, but only time will tell when those get replaced.

Wait you found the Modulator?
