GREAT stuff! Thanks for sharing. The footage shown here of the Ore Train is the only bit I've ever seen in years of searching.

Winter Ontario passenger and freight operating with caboose is a wonderful masterpiece.

Correct

I remember going up through this area way back in the 70s and even then it was ocs territory

The signals on the ONR were purely automatic block signals (ABS), never CTC (centralized traffic control). Operation would have been by train order and later OCS. The signals only provide a safety overlay by showing track occupancy. There were deactivated when the Northlander passenger train was discontinued.

Hello. Can you tell me what year this video is from?

[@retrorailmedia7948]

From what I can tell this most likely would be from the mid 1980s (1985/86 or around there)
