With the next evening GO train speeding towards the station in the distance, the switch lock on Brampton Station's push-button crossing activation box sits loosely fixed, awaiting the eventual push of GO #207's conductor. Used for reactivating the nearby crossing after the circuit detection system turns it off during prolonged station stops, today the push buttons are gone and replaced with radio signal activation via keying a code into the radio; another vanished analogue relic replaced by modern computers and digital radio signals.
