Comments on: Making a runpast at the Credit River bridge in Mississauga’s west end, Ontario Rail Association’s Credit Valley Railway 1057 smokes it up during the northbound run to Orangeville and return as part of the City of Brampton’s centennial celebrations. Today, the Derry Road crossing is located roughly at the tail end of the train. Scan and editing by Jacob Patterson.

Looks like the TSR may have been an underpass with the CVR/CPR

You can also see it on google earth in the 2005/6 time period, in spring, the ROW is very clear

the ROW has slowly been eroded by the erosion of the river but it’s still there

Thanks for the link, Steve. Spent a few minutes trying to find your shot but figured it might pop up in a comment.

The TSR crossed beneath the CPR just slightly south of the current Derry Road crossing, which did not exist until circa 1990. You can see the remains in these aerials.

Use the “basemap” selection at bottom left, set it to “aerial,” and change the date to 1954 to see it.

This is the same bridge.

IIRC the Toronto Suburban crossed not far or near the last coaches. it crossed Derry on an angle then crossed the CPR and skirted the flanks of the river.

The Derry road crossing has been removed.

LOVE the angle! Later in life, 1057 would run on a tourist train from Hull to Wakefield, QC.
