Notable Features
-Lines were designed to take advantage of existing rail and highway corridors as much as possible
-Windsor-Quebec route uses the GEXR Guelph Subdivision for a portion outside of Georgetown, From East Guelph to West Kitchener, Through New Hamburg, and approaching London starting near Fanshawe Lake
-Two distinct lines will be built West of Toronto to connect with US high speed rail network and to properly serve Hamilton and the Golden Horseshoe, as well as pearson
-Upgrades to the Guelph Junction Railway which would connect(route details can be seen here) This corridor would either be electrified or built ready for easy electrification.
-A new rail line built south of the 407 which would remove the majority of freight traffic from key passenger lines. CN traffic would be rerouted through Milton, and the 407 rail corridor to reconnect with the North York Subdivision. CP traffic would also be diverted to the North York Subdivision, and would rejoin the mainline east of Agincourt. This would then allow the Government of Ontario to Purchase the CP Mainline between Cooksville and Agincourt, and the Weston Subdivision all the way to Georgetown with little effect on long-haul rail freight traffic.
