rdf:langString The Orangeville-Brampton Railway was a 55-kilometre (34-mile) long short line railway between Orangeville and Streetsville Junction in Mississauga, Ontario. It passed through the City of Brampton and the Town of Caledon. At Streetsville, the OBRY connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway Galt Subdivision. At Brampton, it crossed the Canadian National Railway Halton Subdivision at grade, but no interchange traffic was handled. North of Brampton, the railway wound through the Niagara Escarpment, notable for a curved, 349-metre (1,145-foot) long trestle over the Credit River and Forks of the Credit Road, near Belfountain in Caledon. The railway's main purpose was to service several industries in Orangeville and Brampton. However, between the fall of 2004 and spring of 2018, OBRY operated a public excursion train, marketed as , between Orangeville and Snelgrove (the northern edge of Brampton). Freight trains on the line were operated by Trillium Railway under contract for OBRY (previously operated by Cando Rail Services Ltd.) and made weekday round trips (on Tuesdays and Fridays) between Orangeville and Mississauga. A decision was made to terminate service on the line effective December 31, 2021. The last train out of Orangeville was December 17, 2021. In July 2022, municipal governments along the route in Peel Region acquired approximately 51 km of the former railway to convert to a trail that would connect to the Trans Canada Trail system.
