Working the north end of Orangeville (south of where the line to Owen Sound ends and was ripped up by the CPR), Orangeville Brampton Railway's once sole power CCGX 1000 switches tanks at PolyOne Canada, one of the few industries on the OBRY. The crossbucks mark a road crossing of the spur pictured, that once lead to customers in another industrial area.  The 36 mile rail line was purchased by the Town of Orangeville in 2000 when the CPR was about to abandon it (and subsequently rip the rest of it up), which would have impacted a number of industries and jobs in Orangeville that relied on the railway as a competitive means to ship their products. Since day one, Cando Contracting has operated the line for the town, which includes supplying their own power and switching out the roughly half-dozen customers in Brampton and Orangeville on a biweekly (twice a week) basis.
