Just a quick re-upload in much better quality of the very last run ever of the Credit Valley Explorer Tourist Train which was said to be Southern Ontario’s Most Scenic Rail Tour from 2004-2018. On what is now the abandoned Orangeville Brampton Railway Line.
-Today this rail line is completely abandoned as the last freight train left Orangeville for good on the morning of Friday December 17 and municipality’s are looking to rip the tracks out soon & turn the old railway right of way into a walking trail.
Anyhow I know my video skills definitely wernt as good back then as they are now but still hope you’ll still be able to somewhat enjoy this historic capture.
*Also NOTE: as briefly seen in this wonderful documentary here put together by ‘Frog And Flange Video’ • END OF AN ERA - ORANGE... if you watch to the end where they show the empty Orangeville Yard in the after shots (after the Last Freight left for good) you will briefly see that the explorer is STILL PICTURED in the station window so basically that big sign has stood for more than 4 years now to advertise a scenic rail tour which no longer exists…. Honestly wonder if the employees at the old station ever plan to remove the sign or if it’ll stay there as long as the building exists??

Honestly me too somewhat but it mainly has to do with my kicking myself for not chasing it back north also🙃….. roads were just so packed that me and my dad elected to leave the chase after Snelgrove. Nothing else I can do now other than to accept that what I have in this video definitely beats nothing. My Video skills were super limited compared to how they are now also so this definitely wasn’t my best work

Great video Graydon !! A pretty awesome tribute to the defunct Credit Valley Explorer 4 years later almost to the day. And the slide show at the very end was just spot on with all of the level crossings. James.

Hi James, Thank you very much for your nice complement and feedback!! l appreciate it a lot! Just added the link to your video in my video description now because yours was awesome too especially with the work you put in and man I definitely do think that’s it’s something with regards to how the non-existent explorer still being advertised in the station window 4 years later! Honestly wonder if it’ll be there as long as the station is? And definitely wonder what Orangeville intends to do with the old rail yard and station after the rails are pulled? Guess we’ll know sooner than we think, anyhow thanks for watching and hope you stay safe and well!

@@NscalefromOntario Hi Graydon; I too have wondered just what the details of the plan are (if there is one yet) . I assume the station will be preserved, but perhaps not in that location. The right of way through town could be walking paths. The rail yard could be valuable commercial property. I guess that we will see the changes in the fullness of time. If I happen to read or hear any news about it I'll pass it along to you. James.

Orangeville was pretty spur for a long time about their railway just because of how much it was costing in land taxes and such. Early 2018 is when CANDO announced they made the Buisness decision to be be pulling out as of June 30 2018 and a chunk of that I believe had to do with the towns sourness on keeping their railway? Last Credit Valley Explorer Excursion under CANDO they announced would be happening on on Feb 24 2018 which it was sometime in March 2018 Orangeville sold the coaches to WCR in st Jacobs. From then on this line was freight only until Orangeville Mayor finally got his wish for abandonment which was Dec 17 2021.

So sad to hear this railway is no more. 4 Brits, 1 Dutch and 1 Canadian did this superb railway in 2010. We did the dining train and had a most enjoyable four course meal, a highly scenic ride, and lovely little GP9 number CCGX 4009. RIP.

Hey buddy, nice tribute. You should come out to Kitchener and we could chase CN 568 to Stratford or beyond. Hope you are staying safe.
