Hoping to see the peak of the fall colors in mid October we boarded the Credit Valley Explorer, a short track rail line operated by the Organeville Brampton Railway, for a three hour tour through rural farmlands and the rolling hills of Caledon, to the Forks of the Credit and Cataract Gorge. The main business of the Railway is hauling freight, with weekday trips servicing local industries between Streetsville and Organeville. Twice a week, all year long, they offer passenger tours. The scenery was very nice throughout the trip, although we were quite surprised at the lack of fall colours in the foliage. We had a pleasant hot turkey lunch and drinks served to us and had two musicians, a guitarist and a clarinetist, serenade us throughout the trip. All in all a very nice day, but the weather could have been a bit better... it was overcast all day and rained for part of the drive back to Brampton after the train trip.
We deboard for a short stop to explore the little hamlet of Cheltenham.
Margaret-Ann gets set to yell "All Aboard."
Heading back to Orangeville at the end of the trip.
