Caption: CP C424 4250 and RS18 8770 handle a sizeable train #89 "The Moonlight" northbound through downtown Brampton on the Owen Sound Sub, passing the switch to the Brampton siding/"back track" at Denison Ave. south of the diamond (the switch was later moved south of Denison at some point) as they get ready to cross the CN Halton Sub enroute to Orangeville and beyond.

A nice healthy consist of covered hoppers and boxcars trail the power and stretch out to at least Queen Street (if not further), a far cry from the half-dozen or so cars OBRY typically handles today for the few remaining customers on the line. Hopefully the town of Orangeville and (soon to be) new operator Trillium can work on growing the customer base, or the future of the former CP Orangeville/Owen Sound Sub doesn't look too bright.
