A handful of manufacturers in Orangeville will be receiving their materials by truck instead of train at the end of next year.
The Orangeville Brampton Rail Access Group (OBRAG) provided formal notice that it will terminate its agreement with the Orangeville Railway Development Corporation (ORDC) and GIO Railways Corporation Inc., effective Dec. 31, 2021.
Manufacturers in Orangeville and Brampton decided to end the agreement prematurely, nine months ahead of schedule, since they’ll save money transporting materials via truck instead of train.
“Regrettably, usage of the line, in terms of both active members and rail traffic in Brampton decreased significantly within the last two to three years, due to a number of economic factors,” said OBRAG chair Dan Braniff.
