SHORT LINE SWITCHING with MP15AC! Local OBRY passing through Brampton & switching tanks at Vulsey!

On September 4 2020 I was able to once again catch the local OBRY Short Line (Operated by a mp15ac switcher in Blue GATX paint) passing through my Hometown of Brampton ON, as they made their bi-weekly run to the CP line in Mississauga (from Orangeville: town that owns this short line) to interchange the freight cars with Canadian Pacific which are destined to the customers along this short line.
So anyhow in this video, I’ll first be filming at the 4 lane Sandalwood pkwy crossing in the northern half of Brampton and first thing I’ll do in the video is note the train stopped at a siding off in the distance as they pick up a pair of tanker cars destined to the industry which they are about to service (*company name is ‘Vulsey’ and those 2 tanks they just picked up were loaded with some kind of Anti-Freeze as that place is known to blend and produce the liquids we use to help maintain our vehicles).
So anyhow after the train adds the 2 new loaded tankers to the front end of their train, I’ll film the entire train going over the 4 lane crossing.
-After that in less than a km down south lies the spur to Vulsey so as I show in the screenshot from Google Maps (*screenshot shows the plant, the industrial crossing I was filming at and the main) I’ll film the train backing over the 2 lane ‘Van Kirk Dr’ industrial crossing as that back the 2 loaded tanks down to Vulsey and I’ll also film them while they return with 2 new empties that are now destined to be returned to CP since the plant is done using them.
-After that’s done I’ll drive down to the southwestern half of town in order to shoot the train one last time going over the 4 lane ‘James Potter Road’ crossing which is actually still fairly new. I’ll film them there going both ways, first south as they haul today’s 7 empties from Orangeville & Brampton back to CP and in about an hr later I’ll also film them returning North after dropping off the 7 empties and then retrieving 6 new loads from CP which are now all destined to multiple of the last 6 customers in Orangeville & Brampton who rely on rail.
Hope you all enjoy!

Very nice. Keep getting these videos. It will all be gone in a few years.

Or sooner... unless the 4 plastic plants in Orangeville (as well as this particular industry in Brampton known as Vulsey) choose they’d all like to join together purchase the line together if they value their rail that much but definitely not somethin to hold our breaths too.

Awesome video man. I intend to get out there and film the OBRY sometime in the near future if i can. I hear it is a more endangered line, do you know the story of that? Also any tips on catching it? I gotta get out and catch it while i can

Thanks for the comment and I’ll send you a message on FB about it.

What was the walkie talkie for?

[@NscalefromOntario]

GO Transit Fan that particular device is actually called a scanner (not walkie talkie) and what it dose is scans all the commotion going on over the railway channel so us railfans can have a better feel for what is happening with the train and when it may be arriving (if we are railfanning on a mainline). Scanners just don’t only scan the railway channels, people use them to listen over the police channel, fire department channel, air traffic channel and much more. There may even be a particular bus channel that bus fans potentially listen over, I myself wouldn’t exactly know for fact because I’m not a bus fan but if your interested to know I can guarantee someone here on KZbin would be able to give you a exact answer if you ask them.

[@metropolitantransit7276]

Bus fans don’t use those.

Your hand radio scanner is in better shape then mine. All the numbers on mine are completely worn away.

They have officially filed for abandonment with transport Canada. It will be closed in 18 months or sooner. The mayor of Orangeville finally got his wish.

PaulHunter23 Dang, where’d u see that? Can you share a link if it’s posted somewhere online?

[@NscalefromOntario]

PaulHunter23 ahh ok well thanks for letting me know and I guess the articles about it won’t be long till published...

[@PaulHunter23]

@@NscalefromOntario I'm sure some one will catch word of it but i wouldn't be the least surprised if they keep a lid on it till its gone.

[@NscalefromOntario]

PaulHunter23 I get that, honestly even today I still occasionally dig through google trying to see if there were any exact articles from the town of Collingwood or even Simcoe county back in 2011 right after Collingwood finally decided to close their half of the line, havnt quite found any yet but in about spring maybe of 2011 I do recall a couple people stating so elsewhere that they knew Collingwood was closing their line by years end but still no exact news articles I don’t think until about Friday July 15, (the day after the last train came to town which was on the 14th)
