All of it is still operational. Guelph to Guelph Junction is owned by the City of Guelph, and Guelph Jct to Hamilton and beyond to Welland is the CP Rail Hamilton Subdivision. The above proposal uses those rails.
I only asked because dunkalunk seemed to be concerned by the challenges of the escarpment. I'm uncertain if his green line from Aldershot follows an existing line or whether it could be modified to join the existing Hamilton to Waterdown line. I grew up quite close to the Hamilton to Waterdown line just below Clappison's Cut. There were several passenger trains each day. I recall, as a wee one in the early 50's, the grown-ups talking about the problems with the bums down by the tracks. I was intrigued. I thought bums looked like turtles except instead of shells they had little pink bums with little pink legs. I ventured down there the next day hoping to catch a family of "bums" in all sizes strolling along the tracks. I was in for a huge disappointment!
