RAIL HISTORY!! LAST TRAIN BEFORE ABANDONMENT! Chasing the LAST OBRY south on December 17 2021!

On the Friday morning of December 17 2021, I myself was one among the VERY MANY who made the trip to Orangeville to see and record the VERY LAST Train to ever run out of Orangeville on the last remaining 36 miles of what was originally the very old CPR Owensound Subdivision (tracks north of Orangeville to Owensound were abandoned October 31 1995).

For nearly a 6hr stretch of time from 6:45am-12:30pm that day, I recorded almost a full half hr’s worth of Footage of the very last OBRY servicing Orangeville for the final time in the early morning, the 3hr chase south (lucky for us Trillium took it slow this day at 10-15mph allowing for many more photo/video locations) as well as the approximate half hr of switching in Streetsville where 333 set off the final cars from Orangeville in one of the yard tracks for CP T-14 to pick up and finally creeping into the engine siding there to call it a day ( As of January 31 2022, 333 is apparently STILL SITTING THERE, was suppose to go back to Trilliums main base in Welland near St Catherine’s but it’s been well over a month now, wonder why that may be?).

Anyhow I hope you all enjoy this historic video and any questions please feel free to ask in the comments below! I’ll be sure to get back to you and answer every question as best as I can!
