Trackside Log for Thursday, September 28, 2000

This was the last time Canadian Pacific would run the former Credit Valley Railway line up to Orangeville. After this day CANDO Contracting would take over operations. I wanted to capture the occasion so I drove to Orangeville after work. I wasn't able to chase the train the entire route from Streetsville, but at least I could take some final photographs at the end of the line.

• Orangeville, Ontario - CP Moonlight north - CP 8211-CP 8203 (last Moonlight)

The crew for the trip was conductor John Desjardins and engineer Peter Hagerty.

A decent contingent of onlookers were present to witness this moment.
