A look at the Abandoned OBRY line in Brampton on the 1yr anniversary since abandonment! 12-17-2022

Well yes I know this upload is rather late a lot would consider since it’s March 1 2023 as I post this but… had some other stuff going on and hey, definitely always better late than never so here you go..

-On the Saturday morning of December 17 of 2022, I made a visit to Downtown Brampton as I thought a handful here would be interested to see the state of the Abandoned OBRY line in Downtown Brampton on the 1 year anniversary since it’s last train which ran on Friday December 17 of 2021
*At the beginning I also had another lil bonus with the small clip and few pictures I took on DAY 1 of ABANDONMENT being Saturday December 18 of 2021.

Man exactly 365 days prior, there had to be well over 30 of us all scattered about the OBRY line in Downtown in the 5 acre lot between the Halton Sub Diamond and Queen st crossing to document the last train (myself including, I got a clip of it crossing Nelson which can be seen in my half hr documentary of the event:    • RAIL HISTORY!! LAST TRAIN BEFORE ABAN...  

-About 25+ of us id say were following it out of Orangeville and another very good handful of Brampton residents (some rail buffs and also some who were not necessarily as much) just came to Downtown to witness the last train to ever run over our cities North-South former CP rail line. (Now we only have our East-West CN/Metrolink Halton Subdivision running though our city).

*Believe me up here on YT there are A TON of other video clips shot by other users of the historic event 365 days before my footage filmed today so below I’ll link up every clip I can find🙂.
*And locations in order too from the Halton Sub Diamond up to Queen st. Hope you enjoy!
