ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

CP doesn't regularly stop manifest trains in Galt That's why the last one had to go to London first.

Maybe it'll sit in Toronto for a couple of days? Should make for easy spotting.


This time the local switcher just has to pick it up from the plant, take it to Belleville (I'm assuming this since it's the closest CN yard i could find to the Kingston Plant) where the next manifest train can take it to MacMillan Yard in Toronto. From there it can be picked up by the next GEXR train from MacMillan Yard to Kitchener (whenever that is i don't know how often GEXR goes to MacMillan Yard) and drop it off in the Lancaster yard for the nightly train. This might take 10 days or it might take 4-5 days. Depends on the CN & GEXR schedules.
