These are definitely awesome photos! Wanted to see some switching action at Brampton Brick for a long time, thank you so much for posting Jay!
Steve- pretty sure it was more than 1 car going north as Jay mentioned in the caption that rest of the train was still sitting at the next crossing down Sandalwood & after the switch was completed the crew would then back the train back down to Sandalwood and add the 1 new loaded Bulkhead from BB to their train before continuing north.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes they were going to shove back from here to their waiting train, which was one crossing away. Then from there they would proceed north to Orangeville with a sizeable train.
