On lease to the Orangeville Brampton Railway, CP 8249 leads the Credit Valley Explorer along the former CP Owen Sound Subdivision. This shot would be one of the rarest due to the GP9u retirements, who knows how long the 8249 has but certainly this was something worth chasing.

    Does anyone know the passenger cars numbers or names. The dome car at the rear is interesting.
