Orangeville is in the process of removing its railway to allow for a recreational trail. The railway wound down operations on Dec. 31, 2021 after the Orangeville Brampton Rail Access Group (OBRAG) provided formal notice to the Orangeville Railway Development Corporation (ORDC) and GIO Railways Corporation Inc that it will terminate its agreement, eliminating railway operations locally.
