The dreary weather this day caught to mood properly. For many OBRY GP9 1000 was a favourite locomotive out of all those that travelled the line over the years since CP’s departure. It was an incredible machine, a bare bone out of the box unit with very few modifications or upgrades since the day it left the assembly room floor. It’s time in the OBRY found it either hauling freight or the bustling tourist trains. This day the units time on the line had come to an end as it was being move towards Kingston to work for an industry there. A bit of a unique lash up this day with one of CP’s two short lived Gensets, a GP40 and Cando/OBRY 1000 getting ready for the trip back to Toronto from Streetsville. Today the Gensets are gone as well as the few GP40’s CP had and old 1000 has been scrapped, not to mention the entire line to Orangeville basically abandoned now.
