They definitely do. Their are now several trains that pass-through (Tor->Ottawa->Montreal) as well as several that start and end in Ottawa that need staging/storage space.

There is also a few weird things like one of the Montreal trains that starts at Fallowfield, gets towed out to the fallowfield by one of the Toronto bound trains

All this stuff stages at Ottawa station.
