     History
    This new shortline began January 26,1998 following acquisition of the CNR's trackage between Barrie and Collingwood by the Town of Collingwood and the City of Barrie seeking to preserve rail service to their industries. It included 31 miles of track between the two points as well as 5 small spurs in and around Barrie where the largest amount of freight is handled. Customers include, in Collingwood; Pilkington Libbey-Owens-Ford (automobile glass), Canadian Mist (distillers) and Nacan (starch). In Barrie, Tarpin Lumber, Bemis Manufacturing (fomerly Moldex) and Comet Chemicals. Closing of the Molson brewery (aka marijuana factory) soon after the takeover by CANDO cost them 25% of their traffic.

    Due to the abandonment of the CNR between Orillia and Toronto, the line was isolated from the CNR system and a new interchange with the CPR's MacTier Sub. (Mile 58.0) was established at Utopia, Mile 7.5 Meaford Spur.
