NOTE: this was OBRY 1000 last run. Its getting sent to the BCRY and they are gonna use the OBRY and the BCRY locomotives to make 1 becuase they are both half assed as Fred Nobles (little train shoppe sales associate) said. I used a diffrent camera this time. I think it looked better. What do you think? Anyways i got home in time to get my tripod a camera and to the tracks. The train was rocking quite a lot and all the people in the train were looking at me and waving. There all on the tube now :P

Credit Valley Explorer Running Around Its Train
Even though i have school, i can still catch them every Saturday bringing in the tour train :D
Forks of the Credit Kettle to Cataract Trails, Caledon Canada
A glacial ice lobe formed the Paris Moraine including this park's kames, rolling terrain and kettle lake. The Credit River cascades 13 metres over Silurian sandstone at Cataract Falls (9 metre crest), eroding a gorge in softer Ordovician shale. Kettle Lake is fed by snow melt and rainfall. The nearby Niagara Escarpment has cliffs and talus slopes.

The history of Orangeville can be traced back as far as 1830, however it was not incorporated as a village until 1874, and named after entrepreneur Orange Lawrence who’s likeness can be found greeting visitors to the downtown core.
For those seeking a quieter lifestyle but with the amenities of larger urban centers, Orangeville is the perfect town. Its location allows for an easy commute to Person International Airport, as well as easy access to highways leading to downtown Toronto.
Currently with a population of 28,000 people, the town offers two recreational facilities that offer something for everyone, as well as a variety of sports clubs, allowing everyone a healthy lifestyle right in their own backyard.

The Credit Valley Explorer on a sunny Sunday excursion from Orangeville to Snelgrove and back.
The section of rail approaching the crossing in Inglewood is rough; you can see the locomotive tipping left & right as it bumps along. Funny thing, I think the passing car has a louder horn than the train. LOL

OBRY CCGX 4009 in Snelgrove 5/5 (19SEP2010)
The Credit Valley Explorer on a sunny Sunday excursion from Orangeville to Snelgrove and back.
Snelgrove is the turnaround point. The locomotive leaves the passenger cars on the mainline, pulls ahead and uses the siding to go around the passenger cars. The conductor decouples and makes the switches. As the locomotive passes the passenger cars, it's a good chance to grab some refreshments. LOL
