I was reminded in seeing Canard's post with the map of rail lines in the area of the line between Cambridge and Guelph (the brown one on the map). Does anyone know if the line is used at all anymore? I've crossed it on occasion at Blackbridge Road, and it seems like a ridiculously dangerous crossing to me. It's almost impossible to see that the way is clear at the crossing without actually entering the rail ROW with your vehicle.
I see an interurban route between Guelph and Cambridge. Just double-track and use the same LRVs as ION. Or triple-track if people are still paranoid about collisions with low-speed freight trains, or if the freight actually needs to travel fast along there.
At the very least, LRT to Hespler.
