The railway is the Orangeville-Brampton Railway, part of Cando Contracting (owned by Nicely-Nicely Johnson?).
2 locos are 1000, a GP9 nee QNSL 157, and 4009, a GP9rm nee CN 4331.
The coaches are ex-CNR 5628, 506 and 5491. (CC&F 1954).
There is also 6006 an ex-RDC-9, VIA/CN 6006, once D506, nee B&M 6925. I think it's been de-motored.

If they don't serve you lunch, ask for the old Orangeville station; they may have a restaurant in it but I haven't been by lately.


Thanks, David ... Yeah, maybe I'll buy the next Cdn Trackside Guide then!

Interesting that their two locos are GP9s. It also sounds as if most of their stock is ex-CNR. We're boarding from Inglewood and I only think it heads out into the country for 30 to 45 minutes, then back again. So we won't make it as far as Orangeville this time. Still looking forward to this trip -- thanks again.
