    My Gawd, Steve. That brings back memories of when I worked at the Waterloo City Square and used to have lunch on the local switcher as he worked around Seagrams!! This back in 1969.

    Yes, but this line is scheduled to be converted to light rail transit (electrified) . Construction starts in about 3 years and will force the freights to nights if they are still operating.

    Note: Construction of the LRT has begun. My estimate of 3 years was wrong.
