    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    In 2019, Metrolinx included this schematic diagram of the target layout in Union Station rail corridor in a public consultation. It states 30% RCD. Note that the west-facing stub track (13W in the diagram) seems to have moved eastwards so it now overlaps the trainshed, instead of starting...

    This location - where Metrolinx's Uxbridge sub intersects with the start of CP's Havalock sub - would be the location a new rail connection if HFR trains are routed through Kennedy Station rather than down the Don Branch? Perhaps plans are on-hold pending some decision by the Federal Govt's...
