    CTC isn't active yet between Humberview and Nickle on the 4th track, but if it was it definitely should be feasible to do every 30 minutes to Bramalea.

    GO uses CN'S RTC2 software for dispatching (except Richmond Hill line and Guelph sub). They probably had issues connecting to that. CN RTC Edmonton didn't have problems from what I've heard... however I couldn't access my CN employee portal

    We at CN have 1 person use their handheld on one channel and main radio on another if we need to be on 2 channels. I'm not sure why the conductor couldn't have the handheld on GO13 and the other radio on CN1 until the wayside inspection system finished broadcasting.
