- Presented in 4K UHD! Southern Ontario is known for for its various smaller "short line" railroads scattered throughout the region. Featured here in this video, are 2 of these short line railroads. Starting off in Ingersoll, Ontario, the Ontario Southland Railway runs mainly around the Ingersoll area and also serves industries in the St. Thomas, and Tillsonburg areas as well. Founded in 1992, the privately held short line operator is known for the vast historic equipment on their roster. Featured here, are 2 of their unique historic locomotives. OSRX #6508 is a 63 year old EMD F9A, formerly belonging to CN and VIA Rail for many years before ending up at the OSR. Also in consist, is OSRX #182 is a 59 year old MLW (Montreal Locomotive Works) RS18u. Spending most of its life on the CP Railroad, #175 came to the Ontario Southland Railway around 7 years ago after many years serving on the CP. I also threw in a clip of CN Local #585 passing the historic and now abandoned Ingersoll depot on the CN Dundas Sub.
The 2nd railway featured, is the lesser known Trillium Railway in the St. Catharines area, closer to Niagara Falls. Known for the various EMD, Alco, and MLW power, featured today is Trillium's newest locomotive arrival. GMTX 333 is a EMD MP15AC, originally of Milwaukee Road, SOO, and Union Pacific origins. I followed their Merritton switcher one afternoon, as it made it's deliveries to 3 various businesses around the Merritton and St. Catharines area. Amazing to see such old locomotives in service and running strong today!
Stay tuned all month for even more videos from the Toronto area!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

Love short line railways! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🚂🚂
They save the lines being torn up.
The F-Unit brought back a lot of younger memories. Thanks.
FP9 - wow! Just wow -
When I was younger, I'd ride the train from Niagara Falls Ontario to Powassan. Stopped in every town on the way. Barrie, Burks Falls, sundridge, Orillia, South River.
I was 10 or 11 and so clearly remember that experience.
Boy, those Locos are really dancing! 2:31
Good picture quality sir👍👍👍👍👍
excellent!!!! thank you!
thank you for detail video in short line operation
Awesome video of Ontario shortlines. I subscribed to your channel as well!
I also remember a rail line that ran through Algonquin Park on the eastern side. Kind of haunting at 1 am camping near these tracks and having a train come through. These tracks are probably long gone.
Yes the CN Alderdale Sub. Tracks were lifted in1996 unfortunately.
Superb video 👍🏻
Great video! Thanks for sharing my local short line (Trillium) which is usually overlooked and never thought of to a much wider audience.
Thank you, it's a great short line!
The old Meritton Rail Yard used to be a busy place years ago with all the Paper Mills and other industries in full swing. Sad to see most have gone!! Hope Trillium Railway keeps going for years to come.
Cool video!
Love it👍
Since Ontario Southland Railway came to be, it has gained more customers (one of its biggest ones is CAMI Assembly, when they transported the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain to the CP main line in Woodstock. They also shipped some of those rail cars to the CN Dundas subdivision to.).
Great video. Some nice work!
great stuff!
Thanks!
Excellent video Michael, nice work!
- Balerio
I agree, Balario!
- TRAINS FOR YOU
Thank you!!
MichaelLovesTrains hey that engine is a hot Babe right there!,6:56
MichaelLovesTrains look at her work.,9:00
you should give woodstock Ontario a visit, it's a really great place, it gets CN, CP, and OSR, i can give you some times for trains that casually take a stroll through, CN 394 comes through around 9 AM, CP 235 passes at around 10 AM and Via 75 passes around 11 AM, don't miss the OSR local coming in and switching, it comes in at around 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, switches for a bit, then leaves between 3/5 PM.
I hate I didn't get a chance to hear the horn on that locomotive. But the video was still awesome.
Mp 15 looks beautiful
Nice video!
Thanks!
Wonderful video my friend, in very beautiful locations!!
I believe I saw an Ontario Southland loco in Guelph Ont. a few years ago.
In terms of alco's I don't know if you could come to Scranton Pennsylvania but if you're able to someday you would love it there's a Short Line running beside Steamtown National Historic Site that uses alcos for Motive Power and they are old ones some of them very old in fact
Seen Em. Loved listening to the RS's idling. Stayed in the hotel there on the railroad side. Woke up feeling like it was the 1940's listening to the steam tourist train going by in the morning.
I hate graffiti on rolling stock...
but I gotta admit it looks fancy and kinda cool on the box cars at 6:20. I think its because the locomotive is bright blue..
f unit trains are still being made right? if not imma be sad cuz f unit trains really are amazing. thx for this upload
F-Units are not being made any more by the Electric Motive Division, but people are restoring them.
Look at our trackage: Clean and in order.
very true norman,nice one.jpj
3:45, they have those locomotives on the sf penninsula
El ferrocarril siempre va a ser parte de la columna vertebral de un país, hello from San Luis Potosí México
Vg photography. And a beautiful unit. However, the engineer could use some safety training on grade crossing procedures. Keep em coming. Thanks.
Thank you!
These 2 OSRX Locomotives Are Freight
Look around and after 11:12, the second wheel is totally locked up as the locomotive is stopping lol
Am I crazy for saying the train looks like a Minion in 2:00 ?
That locomotive looks like it’s from the 50s. I’m surprised it even still works
That's the beauty of them they were built to last and continue doing the job they were built for without fail unlike the modern crap we have now that fails every second

All of Ontario as a Rule. I Used to Live the East. Also Do U Know What Happened to the

4K-A Look at Short Line Railroads throughout Southern Ontario-F Unit Action Included!
14:14 May I Ask what an SLR Boxcar is doing in Ontario for goodness sake? The railroad is located in Maine....
boxcars go all over North America, even if it's from a certain railroad, doesn't mean its gonna stay on that exact railroad
On the lead loco, what are the three lights above the number boards?
Those are what are called "classification lights". They are a holdover of railroad tradition, dating back to operation by timetables and train orders. The timetable-and-train-order system has been replaced by other forms of movement authority, and classification lights are no longer used, although older locomotives still have them.
The purpose of classification lights was to help identify the train on which they were displayed.
Some common displays of classification lights are as follows:
*WHITE* - Used for any train that was operating outside their timetable for whatever reason.
*GREEN* - Used for any scheduled train that has a second section following close behind.
*RED* - Used as End-Of-Train markers.
@@TheGaming727Thank you. i think F type locos were still being used the last time i rode a train. Giving away my age!
i work for the trillium railway
So is the f unit is just casually used in freight service or?
Yes, they have 5 or 6 FP7/9's in use, usually seen every day or so.
Railfanmatt4 how cool is that. Thank you
Great to see……. But in the U.K , we would have had any service like this shut down years ago , as unviable. On the road, here we come. More and more lorries , that’s how we work , unfortunately.
5:05 - 11:00 - What are they doing? "Oh, jus' drivin' around n stuff" ??
Shunting.
2:21 earrape warning
Did I read correctly that the middle unit was a gp-9 ohmygod how old that
The GP-9 is from the late 1950's (rebuilt in the mid 80's). I found the same unit in Waterloo recently so it is still in use!
@@corgis6801 love emd
6508, put C type bogies under it and a V 16 GM diesel and you have a victorian S class
hey,that engine is a Babe right there!,6:56
I wonder why Canadian railroads don't have "railroad crossing" on their crossbucks or signals? I've always wanted to know that....just curious
We had them but they were all gone in 2000
I had to stop watching the GMTX333 crew 1/2 way thru. Isn’t there a CCOR for Canada? Jeez....no whistle at any crossing. Not even a bell for a few. Is the entire line in a quiet zone? Foreman gets off with leading foot ever time. Back to locomotive to get off once, hell...even jumps off once to “walk” ahead to protect a crossing with obvious auto traffic? Apparently they can’t afford a horn for the motor...or a safety manager.
