One of my last trips to Brampton was 2011 I think. Funny though, going to get photos of the old station I kind of missed the turn…that area changed so much since mid 80s when we visited my Aunt who once lived there. Anyways got turned around and oddly enough used that very crossing! I remember it being I’d for some reason, likely knowing the street was narrow on either side due to parked vehicles leading up to the crossing and afterwards. Or maybe it was the nervous feeling driving up the ‘grade’ to cross what I knew as a busy mainline. Nonetheless, thanks for posting your ‘birds eye’ view, from the cab!
Looks to be the old dual James/John Street crossings, now just James Street when they blocked off the John St. part in the late 2000′s. This used to be the single track stretch between Brampton East and Peel, until they double-tracked it and moved Peel over here. Some shots before the upgrades:
