In 2021 time is ticking down for the Orangeville and Brampton Railway however back in June 2008 it was just another day for the Cando crew. Having delivered their outbound traffic on the south end of the interchange, the crew has coupled up to their Orangeville bound traffic. The hogger checks his watch prior to re-entering his steed, while the conductor walks to make the cut at the old CP caboose (now known as a "riding platform"). Once back in Orangeville, they will make a couple moves in the yard before heading to the industrial trackage at the "north" end of town to switch a couple customers before tying up for the day back at the yard.

  1. Sure miss the old Cando days. Lucky catch with the CP van, I think it only came to Streetsville a few times

  2. Interesting stuff Marcus. Not sure what the story was behind it. It was left behind this day and the only thing sitting in the interchange after the crews had departed Streetsville.
