Comments on: Red Interlopers!Heading south on the OBRY’s Owen Sound Spur, the CP Streetsville Turn with 8215 & 3105 crosses Alpha Mills Road on the way back to Streetsville Junction as light power. After having switched a customer up the line (likely Kaotin Natie north of Highway 401), the pair of Geeps are heading back to the Galt Sub mainline to begin switching PDI’s transloading facility inside the old wye area.Today’s rare catch began with driving over the crossing at Mississauga Road on the way home, and catching a glimpse of a headlight in the distance. Assuming it was the OBRY, a quick detour to Alpha Mills revealed the photographer was mistaken, but yielded a far greater prize. While shortline owner Orangeville Brampton Railway handles operations and switching on most of the line, CP retains service on the portion south of Mile 2.4, of which there are one or two customers remaining that get CP-switched every so often.And the carpet? Your guess is as good as mine… http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

It's CP up to 2.4 (IIRC that's the Atwood Lane crossing near Derry). CitySlicker is correct: the only two CP customers are the two Kaotin Natie plants north of Hwy 401, at 6660 and 6780 Financial Dr. The latter one (to the east) was once Legendary Logistics Inc.

CP doesn't work North of the 401. Hence the name Orangeville Brampton Railway. CP doesn’t work North of the 401.
